A stand-out book for its time, and although it is a bit dry, it is highly detailed and practical as a reference for writers and artists. It is sometimes difficult to determine the nuance of a particular expression and achieve a subtle rendering of a bigger emotions, and the detail in the book can certainly help with that. The science and cultural comparisons are an added bonus.


The language in formatting, as well as pictures, are indeed outdated, but I will keep it around as a reference book for artistic purposes.
