A Major Disappointment
March 30, 2009
Having just received this book today, not more than 5 minutes perusal was required to determine that it should be returned as unsatisfactory. The projects for the most part are silly and crudely handled. The bulk of the book is made up of unnecessarily large, poorly photographed step-by-step pictures where a handful of clear illustrations would be more appropriate (but would reduce the page count from 187 to about 60.) At half the price it would still be a weak offering.
