Misleading Title
Basically, if you read the first book, you have no need to read this book. I loved the first book and really looked forward to reading this one as well, however, I ended up feeling as though I were literally reading the same book all over again. Also, the title is incredibly misleading. The fact that this book is titled "An Illustrated Master Class" made me conclude that there would be lots and lots of illustrations. However, the "illustrations" are nothing more than small line drawings that look as though a child in middle school was hired to draw them. They're also few and far in between. Basically, the whole book is a shameful money grab that seeks to capitalize on the success of the first book.
I wish I hadn't jumped the gun on this one. I ordered the book before it was released because the author's first book was great. Had I checked the book out in person in a bookstore, I would never have wasted my money.
