Looks rather interesting , especially if it is informative and not just a collection of pictures
like some other books, not always easy to put down in words how one actually gets there,
it would be nice to see a review of this as I am sure it would boost sales considerably.

Looks good

This looks nice, picture quality looks very good. Best of luck with it

I presume you're hoping this will become a series so for the next volume I would recommend you get a little more professional input on the graphic design - this will aid legibility and improve the overall user experience. I can give you a few specific examples here or via PM if you'd like.

I received my copy via the USPS the other day here in Chicagoland. Good shipping!

I like the book, it's priced well and the layout is very well done. Personally, there are a few dark photos though, but overall, a nice book for the collection!

Hi everyone!

Thank you very much for your kind words and for the support. I am very glad that most of the people that have already received the book are satisfied with the printing quality and the content as well. We are currently preparing the second book that will be also on figures and we are working hard to provide you with the best possible quality.

Keep on modelling!

It looks a nice book , and I still like to have a good amount of imformation in printed matter on my shelves, I know there's loads out there on the net but it doesn't beat a good well imformative book you can keep going back to or have on the table when your working away .
