Product Reviews
It kind of rambles all over the place, with lots of repetition and no concise progression of information. It's just not well thought out. The old magazine Q&A stuff is very interesting, but the rest of the book is kind of thrown together haphazardly. . You have to look in 20 different places to find information on one subject, and some of those locations have little or nothing to do with that subject. Only one word was mentioned in passing, so it was likely indexed by keyword on a computer. That is just lazy.
