'The range of topics covered is so wide that a brief review is virtually impossible...each chapter is essentially a book in itself. Contained herein is a phenomenal amount of factual information, well laid out and explained in an easily understood language. As a reference work it is second to none, and I feel sure it will become the de facto standard for newcomers to the industry.' Tony Grant for Zerb Magazine Spring 2001
