Got the facts I needed for job related information. But they really need a better proof reader. Within the first few pages there are spelling mistakes and bad grammar (sentences simply ending where clearly there is more to come, both with and without periods. It's does get better after about 50 pages. But for the price and subject you want better than a quick glance when content is updated.

Also very repeating. I get it's designed to be pick and go straight to the subject of interest. But sometimes you can simply reference other sections of the book. Cut out the redundancy and the book is at least 2/3 the size.

Still love Dummies books. This one not so much based on quality.
