The book under review is short and lucid. In nutshell it describes A to Z of forensic sculpting. It also gives timely warning about steps where the sculptor might injure himself. Also it takes care of protocol and continuity of chain of evidence that is to be followed in a medico legal case. Yet the book is assertive.

Simple and small text is beautifully coordinated and intermingled with photographs. Almost all photographs are colored which make the book not only attractive but it also helps to perceive the details of sculpting. The book is very good for all those who are engaged in the field of sculpting and inexperienced and also useful to them who feel that they are expert in the art of sculpting.

I can summarize the book in one phrase "Res Ipsa Loquitur", the book speaks for itself, and it does not require a review or a recommendation. I am fortunate to have gone through such a book.
