Great Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2024

Verified Purchase

Book was great with clear pictures for illustrations, although was expecting the hard back but unfortunately it wasn't rather a pretty fine laminated back. Apart from that, great book i'd say. Still reading and so far its been quite insightful
