Discovering an amazing vintage illustration book!

I recently found an amazing vintage illustration book online dating from the 60s. It’s called Creative Drawing - Point and Line and is by Ernst Rotter and Dieter Klante. My book doesn’t have its original dust jacket but below is a photo of inside the cover showing all the library stamps!

It’s right up my street as it’s full of the most incredible line drawings by children. I love the fact that the whole book is monochrome - full of fabulous examples of how to use line in illustration. Below are some of my favourite examples from the book.
