By	JC SALM (Dodge City, Kansas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a little disappointed with the illustrations in the book. They were faint and hard to see in some places, I don't know if that is just the way the book was printed, or if the book was a reproduction and being a second, or third generation, the print was inferior.... But, being as this is the 21st century, why couldn't the publishers have made the illustrations a little more crisp, so the reader could see what he was looking at??
