Definitely a great reference, especially at the price of under $9. It is a bit boring to read, but that's probably because it is a textbook-style reference and not designed to be read all the way through. Overall I can definitely say that this is the best reference for the money.

I was expecting more of a bullet-point reference, but found the language quite natural. Handy little reference.
