From the reviews: "I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the book. ... this is really a much richer book. Indeed, the approach it offers to drawing can have a significant impact on how we teach and think about mathematics. ... If you are good at visualization and illustration, this book can help you become better yet. ... this will give you concrete and specific suggestions for developing your skills. If you just appreciate skillful drawing and illustration, this book deserves a look." (William J. Satzer, MathDL, December, 2006) "This book is a drawing manual for mathematicians. It is written by a great expert in the subject ... . The author explained his techniques of drawing and of shading pictures, he explains when to use perspective and when not to use it, and so on. The numerous illustrations that are contained in this book as examples for drawing of mathematical objects are delightful ... . This book is unique in the mathematical literature, and the present second printing is most welcome." (Athanase Papadopoulos, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1105 (7), 2007)
