3.0 out of 5 stars Just the basics, nothing else., June 5, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
You can learn just about every commonsense issue regarding the topic of this book by doing a search of some good health websites. If you don't like keyboarding and prefer hard copies (called books) would be about the only reason to buy this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Liked it!, August 27, 2009
I found this book a good addition to my library. It's easy to understand, and full of helpful information. I have given the book as gifts and found the response from my friends very positive. I enjoyed the comedic nature of the content and am a big fan of the entire series. For the price of this book, it is well worth it!
