Title: The Benefits of Hammered Lead?
Review: I have to say that I was disappointed in this book. Toxic materials are given a lot more play than they deserve in the text (lead, mercury, etc.). This book is dated and shows it age (when atomic fission-powered planes were thought to be a good idea). Sure, basic sculpture techniques haven't changed much since that late 1940s, but materials have, and in a big way. This book should either be updated or characterized as art history. I think I will trade this bit of history in at the used bookstore for something a little more up-to-date.
