Query: I love this book

Although not really a beginners book and without notes on mediums, pigments ect or a clear step by step. This still has to be one of the best instructional art books I own. David Leffel has to do the nicest, modern 'old master' still lifes of anyone I've seen and the book is worth it for the catalogue of his work alone. True, some of the prints are blurry and out of focus which is disappointing but I would still rate it as a must have for any realist artists bookshelf.This book, plus works by Thomas Buechner, Richard Schmid and Gregg Krutz (and a book put out by the Rijksmuseum on still life techniques) have to be the overall best and most helpful art instruction books available at the moment in my opinion for the realist painter.If you like realist still lifes then get it - it's worth it.
