Title: Great book, but lousy print quality
Review: The contents are great and well-organized, and the small form factor makes it convenient.However, this entire book looks like a PHOTOCOPY of the earlier edition! It's as if the publisher (apparently different from the original publisher of 1st edition) didn't want to re-typeset the book, so they either shot the printing plates directly from the earlier edition print, or decided to run it through a photocopier and then bind it. Some text originally written inside gray boxes are now very difficult to read, and the detailed text is blurry.On quality alone, this is not worth the $... they are asking for. This is really unfortunate, since the authors have done a great job putting out a convenient reference guide. I would be wary of other publications by Lotus Press, if this is indicative of their commitment to quality. The authors should seek a new publisher....
