nice book in many ways, but...
...of more than questionable value as reference source for BG purposes, being a rather haphazard collection of both illustrations (some excellent, others very poor) and facts (often overly generalized to cater to a lay audience) -- in other words, the text, to be properly used, requires too much caution, discretion, and caveats to be recommended to BG users.
