Reviews

[Little Timmy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't usually give textbooks a better rating that 3 starts and recommended. I figure they do their job well or not but this one is different. Exceptionally well written and illustrated it is both an easy and interesting read. Awesome layout of pictures and inside notes throughout the book. Beyond a textbook it just a good history read. Very recommended
