Customer Reviews

Lots of content, but hard to read2
It's all in here - somewhere. The version of this book that I have contains much useful information, but is sadly lacking in layout in structure. This later failing makes it difficult to access the information quickly. This book neither reads like a novel (i.e. engaging and flowing), or like an ordered textbook. Also the lack of graphics and illustrations makes it difficult.
