Is this a good book to learn about how to pose models?

I dont have a studio, I was thinking this would be good to learn how to pose the models or others.

Or is there a book that you could recommend to me that you think would be a good learning tool?

Was this a dumb thing for me to ask? I am starting to think it was. I just thought that it maybe a good book to learn from. I wanted to hear what others think of it or if they have heared of the author.

Maybe its just no one heard of this book or author? I don't know, maybe some things you just have to find out on your own.

This book comes highly recommended from other forums on these boards.

My own copy is on order, so I can't vouch for it myself yet, but I bought it based on numerous recommendations here.

Good luck!

Tish thanks, Posing for Portrait Photography: A Head-to-Toe Guide just went on my wish list. I did do a seach on POTN and I did see some books. I dont think that I seen this one though.
I think that it will be next week that I go and get the books that I am looking for.

Head-to-toe is pretty good. I think some of the pictures arin't too hot, but you still get the idea of what he is trying to explain. It's pretty straight foward and an easy read.
