The layout was completely jumbled, making it difficult to read. But when there were finally diagrams showing various plays, the board was a mirrored version of where the 1, 24, etc. counts are on a board. I may be left handed but that was confusing even for me. Next time make sure the book is readable in digital format before making that an option.
