Ratings and reviews

Although, admitly alot of it is stuff I dont, or didnt already know, I still learned some alternate ways of making sur-tain flip-flops, and think that I understand how to make better locks. (I used to use pistions contolled by buttons/levers, contolling the redstone signal) I did have basic redstone understanding at the time, and that probly helped me to figuremput how stuff worked. A rotating drum insted of a huge decodor. Amazing. Ive noticed some people dont get it. Try reading the official redstone guide first. I bet it helps.

This book is very very helpful and resourceful. I have gotten a great understanding of Redstone from reading this book. It does require a little bit of redstone understanding to interpret this book. 5 well deserved stars.

It gives you so many new and cool ideas. I came up with building an airport.:-) :-) :-)
