2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, June 10, 2003
By A Customer
I was expecting a memory jogger, but this was a fast paced marathon! Instead of being a few, quick, easy to read points, the pocket guide read more like a book. The formating was difficult to follow and the font was difficult to see.
