Possibly the best all-around book of its kind in English, there is a reason it remains in print today. Highly recommended.

This was the second book that I have ordered. And this is a gift for my daughter. It was described as some wear, had been in a library, free of writing. It cost twice as much for the second book, and it has much more wear. Sure doesn't look very nice to give for a gift. I guess my daughter will understand.

This book has everything but the kitchen sink in it. It was recommended by a friend and I bought it right away. It's been around a while but is still just as relevant today.

I purchased this to replace one I own that has been worn out. It's a shame they stopped printing this, it's still the gold standard.
