4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. I was sadly disappointed in this bookBy CharlesVI was sadly disappointed in this book...the preview that permits barely allows review of the contents of the book. They used to allow the prospective buyer to peruse different sections of the book; the way you might if you had picked it up in a brick and mortar bookstore. Now; you barely get through the table of contents and very little of the meat of the book is shown. So; even though I did get the preview; I was surprised to see that the author spends a good deal of time in expansive explanations of content which; when looked a carefully; is clearly obvious and not worth the time needed to read it. Perhaps payment was by the word? Also; many parts of the book could have been easily explained with a picture instead of the proverbial thousand words (but no picture and the thousand words instead). The book is just not worth the effort or the investment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyed the readBy Keith PWell written and very informative.
