"I think of this book as a tool, just as I consider the various kinds of paint brushes, glues, and seam fillers as tools. The book sits on my workbench, inside a plastic display frame so that I can refer instantly to it during my practice sessions. While I have no doubt that my level of proficiency will not jeopardize the leadership role of Raymond Giuliani or Joaquin Garcia Gasquez, I am sure that my finished work will evolve as rapidly as time and practice permit. I am also sure that my level of enjoyment of the hobby will increase in an exponential fashion as I repeat the lessons presented in this excellent publication This book is highly recommended and well worth the price!"
