3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't do it for Me, March 29, 1999

By	M. Mitchell (Lake Tahoe) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book has a lot of information in it. Unfortuantely, for me, it seemed to be a little bit of everything (is there anything NOT covered here?) but not enough in depth on anything. Not sure who the intended reader is for the book. It has a lot of good information but you will always want to be reaching for another book for more in-depth discussion. Would I buy again? Sorry, No.
