Ho appena ricevuto questo libro. E’ fantastico e veramente istruttivo, Svetlana svela ogni minimo dettaglio per aprirsi al mondo del cosplay. Anche per chi come me fa cosplay da tempo, rispolverare le basi è sempre un’ottima cosa. Penso proprio che comprerò anche gli altri libri della collezione.

I have bought one of Kamui’s books, The Book of Foam Armor, and I just adored it! It came with the cutest things, such as gummy bears, a little note, and a sticker! Kamui really shows a lot of kindness towards her fans and it is one of her best qualities as a cosplayer. Also, she’s honestly hilarious in the books, if you want to get into cosplay, I recommend this all the way. Along with a laugh and good tips, you’ll never want to stop reading her books! P.S., I’m gonna get this one next :3
