  • Great book for people with strong arms.

    A really good read, although you do need to have an interest in this subject. It is comprehensive without bogging down with too much detail. The only minor criticism is the size of it, if reading it for any length of time it becomes heavy. Great book, this is one has earned a place in my library.
