Review

Good

  • The book is fully illustrated with lots of diagrams and photos of the topics being discussed.

Bad

  • For some reason, the publisher chose Rockwell as the typeface for the entire book. Although Rockwell is an attractive typeface, it doesn't read well at the small point size used in the book.

Ugly
