This is a great source when one is concerned about choosing the right, necessary and useful equipment. It is easy to read and right to the fundamental information. Nonetheless, I find the book should do a better job regarding illustrations and photos. Another potential problem is that the projects in the second part of the book might be quite difficult even for serious beginners. Perhaps, the authors should have included a few inspirational (less demanding) projects besides those ones. Putting those few details aside, I thing I did well in buying this book.
