Format:Paperback
As already reported the book has a number of references within the script to pictures/photographs elsewhere in the book none of which exist. e.g. the last phrase of the first paragraph on p.30 says "; it is reproduced opposite p.32." and it isn't. Furthermore the first page of Chapter XIII is in fact the first page of Chapter XIV which is itself repeated where it should be at p.185. Hence the three star rating rather than a five star which it otherwise deserves.
Format:Paperback
A fascinating insight to the subject, by a knowledgable author passionate about the subject. The author is able to pass on the interest and passion, and is much more interesting way of learning about the subject, than you'd get at school.
