DESCRIPTION:
Mike B. said Kindle Edition has un-readable illustrations. It's a great book, but please avoid the Kindle edition (like others have said) until they re-scan the book. The images (which are 80% of this book) are very very pixelated and on top of the low resolution scan, they are super compressed with tons of JPEG artifacts making the text difficult to read and sometimes impossible.. "Not very good at all" according to B. Starkey. Not very good at all. Missing notations on many graphics. Word and picture placement change when turning pages. The amount of trouble I went through to get this digital copy purchased, I expected more.. "Font is Horrible" according to Gillian Stoval-Colon. The writing/font in this book is extremely hard to read. Very frustrating. This book was selected by my college professor & is very hard to study from. The illustrations/diagrams are good though.
