I have the book, and have benefited greatly from it. Online reviewers have had some unfavorable comments, mostly about the amount of detail involved, and the excessive amount of time it takes to complete a drawing. I think they are missing the point. The degree of finish you choose is a personal choice. Using Ryder's method, you can get more accurate work, and finish it as you see fit.
