This is a great set, particularly for the money. (I am also a fan of and own Forrest blades, who finds online arguing about the two a bit petty.) One reviewer here said he had to enlarge the instructions.  Mine are perfectly easy to read and plenty big enough.  Maybe Freud enlarged the print.  I also don't have any trouble reading the size printed on the shims.  If you can't tell the thickness of the chippers apart just by looking at them, I sort of wonder what you are doing woodworking at all.  The only thing I found strange is that the DVD that comes with this set focuses on using the Freud dial-a-width dado.  It's almost as if the manufacturer is trying to make you regret buying the manual set.  Example: the video explains that a big disadvantage of a manual set is that it's easy to lose or misplace chippers (I actually don't think that's true).  Undoubtedly, the famous psychologist of the same name could come up with some explanation for this. In any case, I'm quite happy with the purchase and the results I get with this product.  If you don't get a great results, check to see if you put one of the chippers in backwards.
