I saw this one in a local bookshop a year ago and really liked it; but a couple of pages were damaged (a bit ripped and folded) and the front cover had a deep cut in it - so I thought that paying the whole price for a damaged book would be kind of dumb. If I was gonna pay that much for it, I at least wanted it to be in good condition. A little while later, not even THAT ONE was available anymore and they never got any more in stock. I'd still like to get it someday. I, for one, find photography much more useful than drawings. It feels somehow wrong to draw according to other people's sketches: a little bit like cheating. And I get the feeling that if the author made a mistake, I'll just go ahead and copy the mistake. Not to mention the fact that the author may have a completely different style from my own.

In any case, I'm glad to see this one reviewed on your blog. I'd been wondering whether you knew of its existence and what you thought of it. :)
