After being sent a review copy, I have read through the book and loved it. One of the best things about the book though is that it has been organised in a way that you can easily find what your looking for, by looking at the contents for a specific section of just using the search tool. This means that if your ever wondering about something or need some tips, you can open it up at any time and find what your looking for.
This is half supposed to be a ‘review’, so I do have one criticism of the book, 108 pages is a hell of a lot of pages & words, and in my opinion the font is a bit small.
