Too bad it's out of print. I'd like everyone in my group to have a copy.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:perfect for practical use, 2000-08-17I consider the book a perfect guide written by a professional for professionals. If you are looking for scientific completeness and complication, go somewhere else. If you are looking for a competent down-to-earth reference, this is your book. I wonder when the third edition of this valuable tool will be published.
