Product Reviews
Great book for beginning builders. Goes into detail for each step in the process. Touches on how amps work but doesn’t go into too much detail there. That’s not really the point of this book though. It’s more paint by numbers style instructions for each of the projects. If that’s what you want you won’t be disappointed.
Very fast delivery, and an excellent book: good choice for your catalog!
