Ratings and reviews

I would have liked to have seen a few pages before I buy for that price. These books are usually pretty good.. but all the same.. preview would have been nice? A trip to the shops for me to have a sneaky peak..

Good book interesting, so l can understand it. Hence it's for dummies! !!

great book
