Caricature Carving from Head to Toe by Dave Stetson (2004, Paperback)

The author of this book has his information well understood and he knows how to convey that information to others. His images of anatomy will serve me well the rest of my carving life. His book makes it easier for the new carver (or even an experienced carver who feels he/she is missing something in their figures) to avoid some common errors and go right to the development of skills that might have taken much longer without this book.
There are good step-by-step instructions that cleared up a lot about tool usage for me.
This book will soon be very well worn!
