Reviews
I don't know why the publisher and/or writers had to change the book from landscape to portrait without fixing the scale of the pictures-some of them are so enlarged to fit the new page size that I feel disoriented. Additionally the font has been changed to something much much lighter and harder to read so switching between the faint typeface and the oversized drawings is making me crazy. Beware readers over 35 years old! the second edition is much easier to read.
