I bought this book a few years ago.
It's not great, I wouldn't recommend it.
I've heard that this book The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0823016285/002-2159124-2591245?v=glance&n=283155

is better (altough not specifically for CG)

Not really going to read all of it :lol: :lol:

Hi wckedsunny,

I've uploaded a sample page. This is about the level of quality you can expect from the book.
Hope that helps.

Buzz I dont have any book which shows such 3d expressions. They might not be very good still something is better then nothing. ;)

This book might not be that great for proffesionals but for a noob like me even this book is great. :D :D

I bought it for 10$ from ebay and posting will cost me 20 $ - total 30 $ still less if I buy the original here in india for 50 $.

Still waiting for reply from seller though.

Good luck with it then.
