On the contrary it is the fact that I am not a writer, but could have written something just as well as this, that supports my opinion. I do not need to impose another amateur effort on the public to prove this. Any knowledgeable reader should be able recognize that "The Art Model's Handbook" is inferior to books such as "The Undressed Art" by Peter Steinhart and "Live Nude Girl" by Kathleen Rooney; which were written by talented individuals that deserve to be called authors, having many published works to their credit.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I've approved your comment because I believe readers should see more than one reaction to any book or video. However, I stand by my review. As the author of ten books and a contributing writer (and illustrator) for many more, I think we have different "standards for a book," as well. In addition, when someone is<em> that</em> critical of someone else's work, I always suggest that they write something better, themselves. I'll happily review it, once it's in print. Perhaps my opinion of this book might change, as unlikely as that seems at the moment. Eileen Morey Frank,
