I’ve had some time to spend with this volume and I’m really impressed. The information is clearly laid out, easily accessible, and wonderfully useful! I love using this book. Another point: the physical design of the text is a gem… it’s spiral bound and lays flat; the print is easily readable (no impossibly tiny print for tired eyes!); it is the size of a trade paperback and easily packable; and it has a cover that will withstand hard use. I find myself reaching for this regularly. Great job, Sylla! I really love it.
