This would have been a great book, had it not been completely in gray-scale. The cover is vibrant and beautifully colored, you would assume that the content of the book would match the quality of the cover. I was very disappointed to find that the entire book, with the exception of the cover is black and white.

only the cover had color photos; inside pictures were black and white and print was very small and hard to read.

I ordered this book and like some other reviewers was a bit disappointed with the black and white photos on the initial thumb through.
Take the time to read this book however and you will find good information, excellent descriptions and a good sense of humor popping through every now and then.
I expecially liked the back of the book with hand drawn pictures of the different shank styles all in one area for easy reference. Beats having to thumb through pages and pages looking for a specific shank style.
I found the book well worth the money and found I didn't miss the color photos after the first time I started using the book in ernest. It is now one of my favorites.

Did not reccive this book at all. I didn't realize it could take a month to get and wrote
the sender who promptly refunded the order money. I am not sure if I had been more
patient if it would have arrived or not.
Was from UK.
