- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am a third of the way through and it is probably the best book on helping you get started in bringing your creations to the world.....that I have read thus far.I will add comment after I finish but you know that feeling when you not only absorb an authors words but the layout, the colors, even the shapes make you feel like the author is speaking ONLY to you?That is what I am feeling.More soon.
