“A highly-technical drawing manual covering linear perspective, mechanical drawing, isometric drawing, reflections in water, and relief drawings.

“A highly-technical drawing manual covering linear perspective, mechanical drawing, isometric drawing, reflections in water, and relief drawings. Anecdotal and historical info about Eakins himself is included and you get a real sense of how seriously he took his role as an artist and a teacher. His is an approach that relies heavily on exactness, measurement, and rigor. This is a very slender book and each section has been distilled down to what Eakins considers the essentials.”

“I cannot imagine the labor of love this book must have been for the editors. They had to go through some 9,000 pages of Philip K. Dick's 7 years of writing as he essentially attempts to make sense of his own writing, reality, and salvation. In 1974 he experiences a kind of visionary experience whereby he is inexorably changed--he believes he's seen the true fabric of the universe (possibly experienced divinity directly) and he attempts through his writing to explain, interpret, and extend the experience. It's a fascinating exercise, and one worth joining him on, especially if you've read at least a few of his novels or short stories. Reading it certainly makes me want to reread much of his work and tackle some of the titles I've yet to read. Like Dick himself, this work is part brilliant, part delusional, part infuriating, and part revolutionary. I'm not sure I could have made it through the 900 pages without having taken a break from it about half way through. The editorial notes scattered throughout were priceless. ”
