In order to decide whether to get this publication on Kindle or paperback, could anyone tell me if it contains any illustrations that would favour a paperback copy? Also, some sellers mention this publication contains 120 pages, while others say 146 pages. Which is correct, or are there different 2nd editions? Many thanks.
