So if you don't have the book yet I'd recommend borrowing a copy somewhere and having a good long read before you buy it - as you can tell I haven't been impressed with it.   If you were anywhere near me I'd give you my copy: I'd have sold it already, it but I feel it's so bad that I can't in good conscience inflict it on anyone for a price.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
