Kindle Customer said Five Stars. Good book. disappointing spotdot I was excited about this book, however, I was incredibly disappointed. The necessary details required for the various projects are not always included, and they are not laid out clearly. I found this to be one of the poorest instructional books I've read, it includes details that are not necessary, and omi. Knot what I expected Poorly written. Poorly illustrated. Way overpriced. Appears to have been sectioned from other books and thrown together without thought just to make a book to sell. Not worth the problem to send back. Very disappointed.
