A have to have book!,
I borrowed this book from the library and discovered that this ONE book has all the information I need to get started! It’s a great book and I recommend purchasing (as I did) for your own library if there is ANY kind of sculpture you want to explore. This book will get you started with easy to understand instructions and great step-by-step pictures.

Sculpting basics,
This is the perfect beginner book. It details all kinds of designs and scupting methods and gives just the right information and step by step photographs on how to carve each project. I have built 2 of the projects already and they look just fine. I recommended this book to anyone starting out. I bought it and now I’m on my 3rd project.
