The content is reliable and I’ve done further reading from they recommend in the book. I wouldn’t recommend for visual people as the illustrations are limited and lack in entertainment value. It’s fantastic how they figured out most DIY books do indeed need glossary and index at the back. It’s so useful for quick referencing and helps you find the topic of interest that you require pronto.
