highly recommended

This book accurately reflects the groundbreaking efforts of Karen Taylor to further the accuracy and credibility of this form of facial identification. For anyone who is interested in this field of Forensic Art, this book is an absolutely invaluable addition to your library.

Ms. Taylor''s ability to see and to translate is remarkable. The specific techniques described in this publication will allow the reader insight into the logic and manner in which the unknown are identified. The concepts offered are concise and clear.

I consider this book to be a prize possession and it no doubt will, as Ms. Taylor hoped, be dog-earred and worn from frequent use. It is truly an amazing and highly successful effort, one that cannot help but to insure the use of this art in the world of Forensic Facial Identification.

I only wish the rating system allowed me to give this book 10 stars!
