Great book read twice from cover to cover! Enough introductory Information to entice, with oddly mind blowing detail for the expert. To which you will feel like post reading.

Appears to be more for the US market than UK, as some terms used I had to look up on the web to find that they do not apply to UK. Basic info though in many respects, but I found other books better with more detailed info.
