I really like this book! How do other folks like it? My only complaint is that there are only 3 dinosaurs done step by step. Triceratops, some apatosaurus, and T-rex. T-rex is done twice, one standing and another sitting, but it has feathers. The author has some lovely sculptures, would love to see more walkthroughs of other dinosaurs though.
Are there dinosaur sculpting books folks can recommend? Listed the amazon link and name of the book below.

It looks really nice, I'll definitely consider getting it thanks.

It really is! There is a section on texturing and making your own stamps that I really like. Then there is a section that is a gallery of his sculpts which is really cool!
I wish I was better at Japanese. I've only managed six pages so far of the first Rex walkthrough.

Mine is on order (along with a bunch of other stuff).  If anyone has a concern, Amazon jp. has given me even better service than US Amazon.  Very fast secure shipping.  One caution - you may want to let your CC company know there will be charges from overseas they may not have seen before, to avoid a possible fraud hold.  Amazon jp. will tell you if there is an issue and will try the same card again in a few days, so you can clear it up.

It is around 125 pages. The triceratops in the tutorial is pretty basic, as it's the first tutorial in the book. I also put a few pics of the feathered rex and the camarasaurus(sorry, got the name wrong in the original post).









Mamasaurus

If the English version can be bought on Amazon I'd love to know the title translation. I can't find it.
Any help would be awesome, thank you  ^-^
