Dear All,

Has anyone read this book? Would someone be kind enough to give me a review of it and whether it's worth its price? Thank You...

Hi ?Byzatine?,

I have it. It?s a nice book, but I?m at my work right now, so I can?t give you a review, yet. I thought it was to expensive for it?s meaning and not worth the price, but it?s that expencive because it?s printed by a publisher who publish in small quantities, for a small market... It is unique material, so I bought it anyway, but it?s worth the half of the price... When I have time I will look deeper into it (remind me later :-D)

Hug,
Frank
