The author anecdotes seem pretty relatable, very straightforward and, at times, blunt. Jefferson seems to take a matter-of-factly approach that could be perceived as arrogant, preachy and condescending. However, he touches strong points about craftsmanship, doing your homework, and having great attention to detail. There’s nothing mystical about this book, the most interesting part is the interviews with seasoned professionals; although, some seem pretty redundant.

eh. a few interesting bits, but not fabulous. i got it for $2.00, so at least it wasn't a big investment.
