Format: Paperback
The content of the book is pretty good, although there's a lot of wasted pages in the last 1/3 - process colour swatches printed on one side of each page.

However, that's not my biggest concern with the book. I found numerous design and grammatical errors in the books such as references to incorrect page numbers and line breaks where they shouldn't be (look at the "About the Author's" section). The authors should consider hiring an editor next time they decide to write a book.

It's a shame, really, as it could be a very good book.
