I found so many errors that I stopped reading after only a few pages. I wonder whether the Sale of Goods Act could be used to prosecute companies selling this in the UK...
It's not just the sloppy editing - the author's understanding of grammar/punctuation is poor.

I couldn't even pass this to a charity shop with a clear conscience. My copy has gone in the bin
