Not worth the money...
The format of this book is ridicules. Each page behaves as an image of a page. An annoying amount of each page is taken up by gray boarders at the top and bottom of the page. I don't believe this ebook is formatted for the screen size of an ipad. The images include text explaining the content each image. However you cannot open the image within the pages. You can enlarge the page as a whole but the text and image loose a fair amount of quality when enlarge.
I haven't read the book yet (out of frustration) so I can't write about how us full the information is. I can say that I wish I hadn't spent the money based on the mechanics of how the ebook reads. The experience of reading this ebook is poor as the ebook format is so week.
