Thinking With a Pencil

Summary: Need more "Thinking With A Pencil"
Review: ...this is the sort of book that causes its readers to long for it well after it has been loaned to a friend for good. Once you break through the "I'm not a drawing sort of person" wall with teh helpful advice of Henning Nelms, you are empowered to communicate your thoughts in a more powerful way.

I would love to see this book back in print, or in a new edition that extends the concepts to the digital age and teaches us also to "Draw with a Digital Pencil."

Summary: A most excellent instruction in practical drawing technique.
Review: I first found this book in a used book store in 1971. Since then I have searched it out in other used book stores to give as a gift to my friends. I am a craftsperson. But I never had any formal training in drawing. It was very difficult for me to draw my ideas, or execute a high quality drawing for a craft project, until I got this book. I still do not consider myself an expert with a pencil, but now I can draw recognizable images. If you need to draw, but don't really know how, this is an excellent book to get you started. It really should be reprinted!

Summary: Please reprint
Review: Thinking with a Pencil is the best book I have read on how to make your concepts into recognizable sketches that can convey your ideas to other people. You do not need to know how to draw to use Nelms's ideas. I had a copy of this book, gave it to a graphic artist, and now want another one myself. Please, publisher, reprint it again.

Summary: Presently out of print. Should be Reprinted
Review: This book contains the best instruction I've ever seen for the proper way to present data in a graphical format. Its comments about how data should be presented in graphical format are more valid today then they were when it was first written.
