An Atlas of Anatomy for Artists > Customer Review #1:
Poor

This book contains blurry reproductions of master drawings (Michelangelo, etc.), crudely executed original drawings, hard-to-read text, and at least one error in labelling. Better artistic anantomy books are out there. Three books come to mind: Paul Richers Artistic Anatomy (from which some of the best drawings in Schider are taken), Eliot Goldfingers Human Anatomy for Artists, and Stephen Rogers Pecks Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist.

Excellent

Im not amazed that this book is still in publication. I bought the first press back in 1981 while still a junior in high school on the advice of Joe Kubert to study anatomy. It still sits in my reference today. The wealth of information that it contains should make this book cost more. The plates from Leonardo, the hand section, the muscle groups,on and on and on. This is the must have. You will not be disappointed.

Great Reference !

I bought this book almost ten years ago for a drawing class I took. I still use it today for reference. This book has to be the most useful book I ever bought while I was a student. I have never gone back to my math or science books. But I always go back to this book. Buy it you wont regret it.
