Amazing!
Amazing!! No other word for it. Not only is it the most complete guide I have ever seen but the thing I am actually most praising here is the book format. Unlike other millions of stupid publishers on iBooks what these guys did was take the ORIGINAL format of that book and made it beautifully available here on iBooks. It is the only book I own that is actually enjoyable to read on this thing. You can zoom in by pinching, it lays out beautifully....like a true enhanced version of the actual book.
I really, really wish Watson-Guptill brought all their other books on here in iBooks. Please please bring the rest of yours! I would want them all!
