Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Product with Excellent Service
The book far exceeded my expectation and it included a useful CD. I make ALL my text book purchases with Amazon.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Table , table, where's the table
An annoying tendency of certain books is to provide so many tables, figures and examples that you get lost trying to find ex A figure 2.x or Table Z. This book excels in this regard. It would have been clearer if a single, global, numbering system had been used to refer to ANY AND EVERY example in the book rather than non-collated links all over creation. A simple pg. number IN ADDITION TO!!! the figure/table/example/chart/drawing - whatever-number ... would have sufficed.
