Reviews

[Red · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let's start off with the obvious. This is a book from 2004, it's not up to date, it's old, I don't think they still sell this version, but I've seen at least one for sale in the last few years and it's not as informative as you think it is. Pass unless you're getting it for the old info, or for the pictures on the pages.
