Title: Interesting but disappointing
Product review: Design, editing and content are sloppy. (I have the St. Martin's Press edition, ISBN: 0-312-26098-9.) The insertion of quotations and insets is clumsy; as a result, the text doesn't flow smoothly from one page to the next. Also, sentences are repeated and sometimes cut off altogether (see the end of page 16 and the beginning of page 17; the sentence at the end of page 17 is incomplete as is the final one on page 124.) Perhaps the British edition by Spellmount Ltd. is free of these flaws, but I haven't seen it. Some of the insets containing specifications of sniping rifles are not even accompanied by a diagram of the firearm -- a major omission in my view. Since I know nothing about this topic, I can't suggest an alternative publication, but I'm in no doubt that this one just doesn't pass muster.
