Errors
No thanks to communication from either iTunes or the publisher, I finally have a CORRECT copy of this book. I had to keep on top of it myself, as no one at iTunes or the publisher EVER gave me updates!
A refund, please!?
This book is not only full os strange error messages, it's not the same as the print version. I'm very disappointed I bought this. Shame on the publisher for doing such a sloppy job in epublishing.
