Customer Reviews
Good, but not complete
Seems to be a problem from this publisher - the book refers to both diagrams and pictures. Diagrams are there BUT the pictures aren’t. I’ve contacted the publisher who says “i’ll look in to it”… In the meanwhile I have a purchase that doesn’t give me what I need.
