Good Idea, but poorly executed
 
Review Date: June 21, 2007
Reviewer: Sheera,
When I received my book, I was surprised by how thin the book was. Upon initially flipping through the book, I was also disappointed with the overall craftsmanship of the book itself. There are sentences without periods, odd spacing and tabs as if the author was a novice to whatever wordprocessing program he used. The author obviously produced this book without any professional publishing companies, and it shows. This book would do well as an independent project, but not sold as a book on Amazon for over $20. If you don't mind such things, then I would suggest buying this book used. It's not worth the brand new price.
A must-read by a true gentleman

Mr. Webb's resource book is full of useful information.
I look forward to the next edition.
