This book is riddled with typos that make it very hard to follow along with the content. I do not want to have to cipher the English language in a textbook that cost as much as this one. Although the content is interesting, I can't seem to judge this book objectively because of how frustrating the grammatical mistakes and typos are. Someone, I beg you to edit this.
