Query: Definitely Not good but Not entirely worthless

Lemay books are generally overhyped trash and this is no exception. I friend told me to mentally transpose the e and the a next time I shop for books to ensure I don't make the same mistake yet again. Out of 600 pages about half are filler, background stuff and other junk, that won't help you at all. Which leaves about 300 pages of which half are pictures and worthless examples. Toss out the 100 pages of fluff in the appendix and you are left with about 50 pages of stuff that you may be able to use. In the end you have to ask yourself do you really want to shell out $39.99 or whatever Amazon charges for a book that will leave you frustrated and feeling ripped off even after you search out the aforementioned 50 pages that may be useful
