  • Definitely worth a read

    Definitely worth a read. I didn't find it boring. Puts together in one place and works through many unformed thoughts forming our (usually hazy) 'general knowledge'.

    Got the book but is a little aged. Slight rusting of pages but not damaged apart from general handling and the rusting.

  • Enlightening Book that reads like an interesting novel

    Used books still have all the content and value of new books, quite often at half the price. This book was in good shape and the content is outstanding. Everyone has their own preference but the feel of this paperback makes the reading more enjoyable.
