[Louis Lapides · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was helpful. The text was integrated into the copious illustrations found in the book, as it should be. However, the illustrations were so light and faded, it was hard to follow along with the provided instructions. The text was informative but failed to provide necessary details at some points. I went on Google Docs to accompany the book, but the book left out important details that I needed to figure out myself. This is why only I gave Bernstein only three stars.
