Easy to read, easy to follow and mentions more than one methodology of training to track, even if not in great detail. A very good beginners book (I'm a beginner).

It doesn't talk about the mechanics of tracking. This is more a step by step program for someone to follow.

A useful book to have.

Pretty basic stuff compared to other tracking books I have read. Easy to skim and pick out what you need from it. I appreciate the diagrams and problem solving section, but this wouldn’t be my #1 recommendation for a tracking book.
