[Mel]

This was pretty basic but still a lot of good tips and info to be had. All in all a solid instruction book, that is well written with a lot of solid helpful information.

Good for someone starting out or old pros who might need a refresher on some basic info.

[Jacqueline Nyathi]

Very good, but not very accessible
