Love the illustrations
The illustrations are not as extensive as I would have expected, but the ones that are there add nicely to this classic reference.

great presentation
Very clear instruction and easy to accept; it does not insult the reader. This edition's layout is beautiful (especially the covers). The llustrations are of an unexpected style. They may not add to every reader's experience.
