This was a very disappointing book. Not only can you not see the pictures very well but I didn’t find it very informative. I would not buy this book. It’s not worth it. -

I agree, this book should not be allowed to be sold. A rating of 1 star is way too high. Do not waste your money. -

Fortunately I was able to find this in the local library before buying it. The illustrations are unreadable. WAY too small! Find something else. -

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!! Measuring only 5.25″ x 8.5″, ALL DRAWINGS ARE REDUCED TO FIT. THE REPRO IS BELOW NEWSPRINT
85 LPI QUALITY MAKING THE PRINT AND DRAWINGS ILLEGIBLE. A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, EVEN AT THE USED PRICE OF $6.00! SHAMEFUL. IF I COULD RATE LOWER THAN ONE STAR I WOULD. - Comment Feed for this Post

This book is so lacking in information and like all the other reviewers have said, the pictures are horrible. It fails to explain some of the most basic elements.
