I just visited the Amazon site and looked at the reviews. From what I saw people either hated this book or thought it was magnificent. Based on some of the comments in the "bad" reviews, I'm going to hold off. Same for the Bryce 4 book. What a drag. though that there is not a good teaching manual out there. When you've only got a few hours a week to devote to learning this stuff, a good walk through would be awfully helpful.
