This is an excellent book, but I purchased the Kindle version. Graphics in this version are mediocre, as if we just got the internet working. Amazon needs to do a better job of checking Kindle versions and a standard of some kind has to be maintained. Buy the hardcopy and you won't think that you suddenly have developed double vision AND cataracts at the same time.
