I truly enjoyed the book. It is an easy read in terms of language usage. However, use caution when reading if you are a beginner. I will follow the author's recommendation of not getting overwhelmed. I will try one skill at a time, until I have mastered the Tabs! Thank you!

A good reference for tabs

While brief, this is well constructed. It is a good reference for those times where you say “what does that mean again?”

Don’t waste your money.

Not very helpful. The book is short and reads almost as an overview. Or recap of a large book. Don’t waste your money
