Review: This book is a very comprehensive study of animal anatomy and very useful. Glad that I bought it.
Review: ho regalato questo libro al mio ragazzo che dopo 3 anni di accademia di belle arti ha deciso di approfondire l'anatomia animale. Bene l'ha sfogliato tutto pagina per pagina davanti a me e ad ogni tavola era sempre più entusiasta. Tavole perfette, che partono dalla scomposizione in forme elementari fino a quelle più dettagliate. Ottimo, dettagliato, professionale a livello medico.

This is probably the only book you need if you are someone who enjoys drawing animals and does creature design. The book is beginner-friendly and easy to follow, making it appropriate for both the hobbyist and the experienced. The language is written in a way that is easy to understand. All diagrams are labelled clearly with appropriate omissions made to anatomical parts that are not necessary for the artist to learn. I love the layout of the book: it has been designed/organised in a way that makes it easy to navigate. You can really tell that the author went the extra mile to compile and preserve the most accurate representation of each unique animal. Every page has a clearly labelled diagram, often supplemented with a concise description of which bone or muscle is being presented, and what their functions are — this is what makes the reading experience enjoyable [to the art student] rather than strenuous. This book primarily focusses on 4-legged mammals, especially the horse (and other similar hooved-animals), the hound, and the wild cat. The book does very briefly touches upon other animals (vertebrates) towards the end (bird, bat, sea lion, gorilla, etc.) but only as reference, not in excruciating detail. This book DOES NOT cover amphibians, reptiles, insects, or sea creatures so make sure you know what you are looking for.
