[Jurga · Rating 4 out of 5]

For most part, interesting content (some of it a bit dragged out). Now the print quality is laughable. Although I appreciate the quality paper that suits the pictures, it's unbearable for reading - highly reflective, hard to bend, keeping in mind it's glued, not sewed binding paperback book. Font is something else altogether - hard on the eyes, text aligned on one side, gaps between lines are small, some of them are missing. Better next time hopefully?
