Includes step-by-step photographs, details, and instructions on capturing the individual essence of the flower, together with comprehensive information on the appropriate techniques and colour mixes to use.

Poor quality typeset can't read it

I don't know start book this is but I can't even read the words it's such poor quality like it's a picture copy of the pages and if you try to zoom in the words are unreadable.

Poor Format

Poorly formatted, makes the book very hard to read and it becomes a chore to just get through the book.

illegible in kindle format

This e-book is totally illegible in kindle format and is therefore useless. Waste of money. I wish I could get a refund.

terrible on kindle

This is just a poorly scanned version of the book. The text is virtually illegible and the images are fuzzy. Don’t waste your money
