[Book Nibbler · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hmm.... this book has a lot of photos of other urban sketcher's work. The problem is I did not like most of the artwork shown. Other than that, most of the information can be summed up into 2 or 3 sentences per artist and the material's they use.

I am not sure tht I really learned all that much from the book but I thoroughly enjoyed just looking at how different people make art.
