Good book. Very helpful but horribly over-priced
Reviewed in the United States on 23 March 2016Verified Purchase
Good book. Very helpful but horribly over-priced. Probably should have returned it but it saved me a lot of time when compared to putting together a systematic Internet search to compile the same information - but then I could have written and sold my own overpriced book.
