Summary: errors in trace!
Review: Althought the drawings are very good in TRACE, they are NOT to scale! Look closely at the 1/2 inch scale, and you will see that the reclining woman is 8 feet tall! The page header indicates that the drawings are to scale, and as designers, we need them to scale, the fact is this is a misrepresentation. I am surprised that this error, which occurs frequently in this book, escaped the editing process!

Summary: Jam-packed with useful drawings of every type!
Review: I rate this book 5 Stars because it is so comprehensive in its variety of people and objects. The sheer volume of choices of style, poses, type of items -- this is like an artist's candy store.I used this book first as a student, and now as an interior designer. It is a helpful tool to be used to augment visual presentations. The addition of these items adds "life" to otherwise static room renderings. While it is true that a VERY FEW drawings are not actually to scale, the vast majority of this book is extremely accurate. Some sections state scale specifically, others indicate "random scale." It's up to designers to have the ability to tell whether something fits the scale of the drawing they are working on. I don't hesitate to recommend this book for anyone who wishes to add a little life to their drawings.
