good book , bad manufcturing
Well, the book was produced poorly as the binding has separated from the book, and it's only about a month and a half old, seems like the glue was defective or not there at all! And yes I know you might be thinking, he's hard on it that's why it broke but that's not the case, I have treated this book like a newborn baby, never dropping it, throwing it, bending it, or any other type of abuse that a book could possibly receive, plain and simple it is defective!

After 7 out of 27 chapters.....
Really?? Ok.... I’ll admit this might be a bit premature as there are 27 chapters in this book.... however, I am at best, a good handyman and I’ve found the first 7 chapters to be a joke! I hope the next 20 chapters offer some actual value, and I will amend this review if so, but if not, this is a complete waste of time and money!
