I mean what do you expect when Black & Decker publishes a book? Over-photoshopped pictures? Yes. Generous product placement? Well, yes. But the surprise is how well the the author explains the basics. (Yet, Chris Peterson's name isn't on the cover of the book -- what's with that?) He even explains how to create visual mowing patterns (stripes, diamonds, checkerboards) using a drum roller. And Black & Decker doesn't even make those!
