A bit short and many proofing reading errors
921607
This book, which basically finishes the previous Very English Mystery by Ms Edmondson, is fairly short. It is interesting, but did not seem as good as the first book. In addition the proof reading is only fair and stops the flow of reading. I do not recall the first book containing proofing errors.

The story line is good, but this book does not stand alone.

I can tell that the author has a good knowledge of Java, and he is willing to share it with our readers. But too many icons make the book trivial. Error on page 147 (question 5). Many typos also.

a good short book ruined by poor proof reading. Rule 101 for writers...do not publish before engaging at least one independent proof  reader.

This Kindle edition could have used someone to go over the text before it was put on the market.  Whether due to it being electronically scanned or not, there are sentences that just end mid-stream and others that seem to be missing periods and words that are misspelled.  Pieper's translator is excellent so I'm sure the problem lies elsewhere.  Still, all and all, it is a pretty good overview on Aquinas.

Missing codes, incorrect spelling(blood->bloed?!), poor printing quality......

The book is okay, but there are some errors. Chapter 7, page 123, says that "Protein synthesis begins with the transcription process". This becomes a quiz question at the end of Chapter 7, but according to the quiz key in the book, the answer "transcription" is incorrect. Also, quiz question number 1 at the end of Chapter 7 also appears to give an incorrect answer (according to the quiz key). Also, there seem to be more inconsistencies. So I am disappointed. Otherwise, if it weren't for these errors, this could be a great book - a five star instead of a two star.

The content of the book was fine, but I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't distracted by the lack of proof-reading.  Words were used badly (reign instead of rein, for example), the punctuation terrible (a question mark where there was no question),  and commas used and not used, seemingly at  random.  A good editor should have caught all of these problems.

A good beginner's book.  However, it could have done with a good proofreader. Spelling, grammatical errors, missing words. There was one part of the book where the same page was repeated several times. For me, this seriously detracted from the book's credibility. Sometimes it reminded me of those really bad assembly instructions that you get with foreign made toys.  In fact, it made me proofread this, so I wouldn't leave the same impression on you as Silver Investing 101 left on me.

Gets the job done,  but it has a bunch of typos and errors. Don't buy if you don't have to.

The book was a good help for a person new to Joomla (such as myself). However, there are several errors in the text such as missing steps and ,what appear to be, "cut and paste errors". The errors I found are in addition to the ones listed here:

Will I e-mail the author and "report" these issues? This is NOT Free and Open Source documentation. I paid for the book, which means I paid a sloppy writer and a poor editor. Books should not have errata listed online, they should be properly proofread prior to their release.

I read the reviews prior to purchasing the book and bought it anyway because I needed high-level overview of accounting for a class I'm taking this summer.

Boy, there are a ton of typos in this book.  Leita Hart must be embarassed; it's hard to believe that it was proofed before it was printed.  Most of the mistakes are easy to spot, so it shouldn't confuse you too much.  If you want a bullet-proof book, that's far more comprehensive, try An Introduction to Accounting by Werner and Jones (you can get the 2nd ed. for cheapish).  Another frustration is the poor index - if you want to look something up, forget about trying to find it in the index.

That said, Hart knows how to explain fundamental financial accounting concepts.  I did learn quite a bit.  Hart should write an introductory accounting textbook - I think she'd do a good job.  Of course she'll have to ensure that it's edited and proofed before it goes to print.

Indeed it contains many errors... I got mad at the editor. Page 125 Q2 and Q5 are incorrect. I hope that next edition will be better

This optically scanned edition is rife with transcription error. Often the reader must halt to dope out what the crucial word should have been. Even a spellcheck would have made a big difference.

I ordered this book to help me review for the tech exam.  I am disturbed by the number of errors in the book.  While speaking with a co-worker today, I found that the book says that 1 kg = 1000 mg.  I'm glad I could correct the mistake before she takes the exam this saturday.  I also found an error in one of the allegation problems.  I ask again, where was the editor?  Yes,there is some good basis information, but you cannot count everything as gospel.

I wanted so much to love these books.  The story is good, the premise is good, the characters are mostly believable and relatable.  The story is quick-paced, and most of the details are accurate enough to pass muster.

But the typos and grammatical errors are painful, and really detract from the books.  "Allude" instead of "Elude".  "Due" instead of "Do".  Apostrophes where they're not wanted, and no apostrophes where they're needed.  These were some of the most egregious errors.  Honestly, they're so glaring that they jerk me out of the story.  It's almost painful, and it is immensely frustrating.  I don't know if the author reads these reviews, but if so:

Mike Ryan: I implore you - please, please retain the services of a competent proof reader.  Your books are good, but they could so easily be great.

This is a good review but it was full of errors.  At least there is an online resource listing the errors and corrections.  It took about 2 hours to make all the changes, but it was worth it.  Good resource, I just wish there were not so many errors.

I would have liked to have given this book 5 stars but find I cannot after finding a couple of major errors that detract from the book's main argument. For example, on page 40 the text states that the student (Ben) responded to the third item "pencil" in the first column. However, when you look at Figure 9 on the same page you can plainly see that the item "pencil" is labeled as the fourth item on the chart. Also, in the shoe tying example on page 41, it says that the process is listed "1-10, top to bottom". This too is incorrect. The corresponding chart on the next page shows the sequence in bottom- up fashion. Most egregiously, on page 42 the score for session 1 is calculated incorrectly. It is marked as four steps correct in the sequence, but 5 steps are circled as being performed correctly. This is especially unforgivable in a text that has an ugly acronym for data that does not communicate effectively (C.R.A.P.-Can't rely on any part of it). These errors detract from the overall purpose of the text-collecting accurate and reliable data. For a second edition, these errors are unforgivable, especially considering the the topic is accurate data gathering.
Still, the overall method is sound. The forms at the back of the book can be downloaded from the research press website.
