Review title: 1994 is centuries ago in internet time.
Product review: This book is too long and too old. It goes though tto much unnecessary math. It spends a lot of time on minor details, while avoiding some of the real issues - how to design a modern EDFA. Im mathematically inclined, so the math was not bad, but if you're pictorially inclined this is not the book for you.
