"A really clearly and simply written book. Information is straightforward and easy to grasp. The tasks are simple and there is a logical progression through them - the learning content has been well designed so that you do not get lost or confused. The design and layout of the book are conducive to the learning - a simple colour scheme and layout makes it very easy to follow the text and tasks in the correct order. There are spaces to write in the book for the tasks - I appreciate not everyone wants to do this! The size of the book makes it more comfortable to write into, if that’s what you chose to do." - Amazon Customer Reviews
