Reviews:

There is never enough views of the "true value" of something and a clear look at the marketplace to see what is really out-there. This book helps greatly in both areas and sits in my collection!

This book is also very useful to me. This one I'll be studying in more depth due to the overall expanse of its contents.

I have to say it is a big help for me to get what I needed to fulfill what I wanted from it. Great book.
