Some is outdated: you no longer need to keep a filing cabinet full of photographs and magazine clippings to use as reference; we have the interwebs now. Dust jacket included. The book is very 40s that way. This book is perfect for reading with a cup of coffee and your sketchbook nearby. This book was, surprisingly, motivating as well as helpful.
