This book is really excellent if you have never worked with acrylic paints and mediums, and the pictures are lovely. Unfortunately, it is not organized, and when I first glanced at it, after checking it out, I thought it looked like one long ad for Golden Acrylics.
However, after actually reading some of the articles, I was impressed by the information offered. If you want to try acrylic medium, for example, and have no idea what it's for, this book will get you started.
I plan on either checking it out again or (gasp) buying it to keep in my library.
