Title: A book in need of a good editor
Review: While I found this book informative, considering that this edition purports to be the "revised 3rd printing" and its author is apparently the founder of a magazine, it's an absolute publishing travesty. There are several misspelled words, pages 3 and 4 are duplicated in part, and silly errors such as "by 1989, Aurora stopped producing new figure kits" abound(Aurora folded in the 1970s). Spacing problems, captions that don't correctly identify illustrations -- the whole gamut of what constitutes poor proofreading and slipshod publishing can be found here. Hire a good editor -- or even a marginal one! A pity that what could be a very good book is made almost unreadable by errors. Color pictures, such as one finds in some other books of this type, would be nice too -- this volume is entirely in black and white. Overall, a real disappointment.
