Bob's book was written back in 1985 and is constantly being reprinted because of popular demand. Amazon.com did an interview Bob and it was very insightful. In the interview Bob explained that he started writing his book in 1980 when he thought he might have a terminal illness. Instead of whipping the book out in a matter of months, it took him 5 years to publish the book. The book has been successful because Bob has a long background in teaching and cutting hair. It is obvious that Bob truly enjoys his subject.

This is a great book if you want to learn to cut hair. Bob is a wonderful writer and quite a personality in his own right. I guarantee you will enjoy Bob's work of love.

Enjoy.
