Not too bad for an introduction tour through the software. The book could have been better formatted but it was only a minor distraction and not something that impeded getting the most from the book.
Between this and the other books and tutorials I've gone through for this software, in addition to the working through it that I did, I was able to discern that the software wasn't going to meet my needs. However, it's good software for a blog sort of website. Fairly easy to learn to use, too.
