This is an all time favorite. Robert is such a natural at sketching on location. He provides just enough technical information to be instructive, but the real value is the extensive portfolio of quick sketch on location that he offers. This is another re-purchase for me. My last copy fell apart after 20 years of lugging it from class to class to share with my students. This is a book that students actually go out and by for themselves. They see the value. Well worth the money.
