3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-06-2007; Flawed format. Wait for DVD!; I certainly agree with the existing reviews regarding content, and have nothing to add in this regard.HOWEVER, there are two problems:1. The book measures 7 1/2" tall and 11" wide. This makes it hard to hold and fits poorly on the...; read full review | report as inappropriate
