High quality printing,
This review is from: Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge (Paperback)
This is exactly the same as the FAA's "Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge," (FAA-H-8083-25) but this is a commercial reprint by Skyhorse Publishing and it uses better paper (thicker/glossier) than the FAA's printed version, so I highly recommend this one.

This review is from: Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge (Paperback)
AS a CFI I recommend this book as it is one of the sources of information for the pilots written test and it is easy to read and understand. I continually reference this work for my teaching and flying career. I highly recommend it.
