J.D. Wacker has compiled information based on something, but it is hard to tell what that is. The title is misleading and inaccurate. If you are looking for a 'Master Posing Guide' or any kind of posing guide, this is not it. The pose on the cover is very nice, but is not even described in the book. Wacker refutes the title early on, explaining how he is going to reveal much more then posing techniques. He goes on to do little of this as well. Clearly, the cover art and title are intended to get you to buy. Though there is some practical information in the book, it is not a Master Guide to anything.
