Thanks for.This book is clean and included a CD. I really appreciate.It is a safe and reasonable item.
Missing pages 137 - 152. It appears to be a manufacturing error - it does not appear that the pages were torn out. Also, errors in the index.
The book is not very detailed like I was hoping I would be. And If I hadn't wrote on the first page I would return it for a refund.
received the book. It looked nice but there was no cd included. first page was torn.
