Regardless of the product web page listing a hardcover, the version I acquired from Amazon was a tender-cowl which had pages falling out of it from day 1. I ended up shopping for a hardcover edition at full value from the campus bookstore, which was thinner, printed on better paper, and had noticeably larger printing quality. I returned the Softcover to Amazon as defective.
That stated, the content material of the guide is excellent. The chapters are very readable each for studying begin-to-finish or selectively reading only those components you want at that moment. I can be preserving this ebook as a useful reference in years to come.
Conclusion: Nice book. If you will get a hardcover copy, accomplish that, even when it prices you a bit more.
