Hi,
I will be a new 2015 international student from Australia, and i was just wondering as part of the “Illustrating Children’s Books Diploma” course, where i would be able to purchase the book Maggy Roberts has suggested for students ;
‘Children’s Picturebooks; The art of storytelling’
Unfortunately an online bookstore here in Australia only caters Australia wide :/
i would appreciate it greatly due to being a passionate graduate of a bachelor of illustration course over the last 4 years
Thanks Kind Regards
