1976142 pages including index. Deals with a wide range of media: from the very soft, such as soap and salt, whose carving needs no special equipment and which therefore are suitable to the less accomplished of every age, to the opposite extreme, when an understanding of the correct use of hammer and chisel is essential for the production of satisfactory work. Plentiful diagrams and photographs illustrate a text which concentrates on individual techniques rather than on completed carvings. Price-clipped dust jacket shows only light to moderate wear.
