Summary: Art study only ! (not technical reference)
Comment: This book is useful for artists such as painters and sculptors trying to accurately represent a muscular male body in different poses (like greek sculptures - Atlas, The Thinker, etc). Every page shows the model in a different position comparing the same pose in the "buff" with and without the painted muscles.

Rating: 5
Summary: excellent artistic reference
Comment: This book is extremely useful for anyone trying to master the interplay of muscle as it affects surface form

Rating: 3
Summary: Very good male nude reference book
Comment: A fair sized book, it's unique in the sense that the male model has the relevant muscles and tendons actually drawn on his body. Nice concept but I don't think it really helps. Because the muscles are tendons and the skin is, well, skin, it stretches as a mass and not as fibers. I think the poses are useful though, good lighting to show muscle definition and tone and decent-sized photographs too.
