" There's a wealth of detailed information in every chapter, mostly of the kind that you would use for reference, when you inevitably hit that awkward problem. There is no doubting the lifetime of experience that has been poured into this book, and it is good to see that these rare skills are not going to be lost, due largely to people such as Martin. "
