Hello everybody,
Whilst walking past a 2nd hand book shop on Great Western Road in Glasgow (near the Kelvinbridge Undergound Station) I saw this book in the window.
Has anyone read this book and if so would you recommend it? I might buy it becasue its 2nd hand and will be cheaper than retailed price.
Cheers

A peek at Amazon.com says that the reviewers find errors in the captions and the overall rating is good but not great.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

Baxter gets a lot of criticism for his captioning on ML. It's probably worth flicking through to see what the reproduction of the photographic content is like, as that's likely to be the best reason for buying the book. And if it's cheap enough...
