1.0 out of 5 stars Missing letters and diagrams.
By John Cook on January 22, 2021
So much for buying the paperback. The very first thing I noticed was the large "Y" (I presume) to start Chapter 1 is missing. Upon closer inspection several large letters to start other chapters are missing. Upon even closer inspection, several diagrams are missing and only the top letters in several sentences are missing. Not great for a book full of diagrams. Thanks Microsoft Press.
