3.0 out of 5 stars
Good content - [crummy] graphics,
By Mike Rasmusson (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultralight Aircraft Shopper's Guide (Spiral-bound)
In my opinion, Andre Cliche's Ultralight Aircraft Shopper's Guide is a great reference book that's unfortunately marred by graphics that are so poor it's difficult to tell if I'm looking at an airplane or a kotex. This book appears truly "homebuilt" and comes complete with non-waterproof inkjet printed text that I joylessly watched run. I was greatly disappointed,and more than slightly annoyed, to have paid a premium price for a book produced by what appears to be an old 150-dpi inkjet printer. Great concept; excellent content; bad publishing.

pricey,
This review is from: Ultralight Aircraft Shopper's Guide (Spiral-bound)
Really wanted to buythis book, but $124.99 is a bit expensive, especially when the new edition can be had for $19.95. Is this a mistake?
