Tell your friends! I am delighted to see this abundantly revised text finally hit the stores after what I know to be an arduous labor and delivery.

Ann Bell Palfrey Media, 2006 A Good Primer for People without Huge Budgets I bought this book a couple of months ago and I thought it was pretty good.
