Thank you!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great book - hands onBy RickI have come around so many books that provide a set of excercises that you cant do unless supervised or after having taken the classes. This is a great book for those who want to tackle work on their own. Slow and easy to understand with no nonsense diagrams.
