Ho-Hum:
I'll list the GOOD, then I'll list the Not-So-Good (aka. BAD). The best two things about this book are: 1) A decent amount of images therein show the models in clothing (cloaks, some street clothing).

Perfect for graphic novel or comic illustration where you don't have models available for reference shots, or you need an inspirational shot for a particular mood. Like I said, my only complaint is that I want more! It includes a CD also so you can reference that as well, but I haven't checked to see if that has different poses or not yet. Hopefully it does.
