Title: Nice book but what's all the hype?
Review: I bought this book because it's clearly photographed and clearly written but I cannot say it is the absolute best book out there. I have read through many of these reviews and am frankly confused by the cult-like following the author seems to have gained. After a second trip to the book store I found several books that seemed far more comprehensive than this book - not to mention visually inspiring. There are some beautiful hard-cover full color books with wonderful instruction. All in all Siler's book is fine but I would have to say that it's pretty much yesterday's news. Since this book came out a few years ago there have many books written that far surpass it. Just goes to show you what good marketing can do.
Is the review positive or negative?
