Where'd you get it, m8?
Couldn't find it in the artbook thread.

I doubt it's as good as Vandruff puts it, but I'd love to check out more approaches.

Because there are a million good books and resources to learn perspective. It's literally the best covered fundamental by far and the only reason someone hasn't learned it yet is because they didn't even try. Another perspective book is just a drop in the ocean. I wonder how many beginners will think "maybe this book will finally teach me perspective" like they always do for every new resource popping up.

Maybe if people actually read the books they download they may learn something. Perspective can't be learnt from looking at the pretty pictures.

This person is probably trolling because they know this book is no where on the web.

tfw all my favorite art book author's are dead and so buying their books just makes some unrelated publishing exec money

I'm not so worried about that, I buy printed books when they contain a lot of graphics and images.
I like these old books since they give a different perspective to things written nowadays. Not that new books are bad, but all the referenced advertising posters are great to see how perspective and composition was applied back in the day.
I'm still looking for some more pre-war books on these topics, preferably late 19th and early 20th century, if they even exist.

Because I've been able to figure out vanishing points and perspective on my own. It's just basic geometry.

perspective isn't that hard tho
