I have been going through this book randomly as the weeks go by. I must admit that the information from it has been useful. In random conversations, people mention things that I read about from this book. I can refer to something I had recently read here and I have re-freshed my knowledge about the topic. I am an artist so the visualization really helps to solidify the events. Well, I can relate to the ink drawings, intaglio prints, and paintings because I know the effort taken to produce them. Enjoy!
