Title: Great reference
Product review: This is such a good idea, one wonders what took so long to get it done. The manual is a hefty hardcover, designed to last. Very comprehensive in giving you 5,000 poses of people doing ordinary things from excercising, to primping before a mirror, to dancing alone or with a partner, to laying around on the floor. The models are photographed from eight different points of view. They are not unnaturally posed, however. More like a stop-motion camera caught them "in a moment of time".The section on Nudes alone is worth the price of the book. If you've ever had problems finding a model to pose nude, or if you just want to sketch at three in the morning, this is the book for you. The photos are not as close-up as they might be, but they are really good at capturing the movement(or non-movement)of the subject.I can see alot of potential for this manual beyond sketching, drawing and painting.Animation, anyone?If you're an artist you will really like this book.
