Would be much better and useful in hard copy. ( )

This book is a bit like good chocolate - a little bit is very nice indeed, but if you take on the whole lot in one go you are left feeling like you have overindulged. There are a lot of interesting facts and stories in this book, but if you try just reading it from start to finish you are unlikely to remember much. ( )
