Good for novice not for expert as claimed.

Very fast reading.  Was ok but was looking for something a lot more technical and with more information on the different reef systems out there.  Seems to be written more for someone just getting into the hobby.

It was interesting. There was good information for a beginner but, the writing seemed like it either was not edited or checked or was written by someone who English may be a 2nd language. There were many times when I was reading a sentence over and over trying to get the meaning but the words were used in such a strange way. For the price you get some good ideas and that was what I was looking for so it was worth it. For more detail and better writing I'd keep searching.

As other reviewers mentioned, there are a number of errors. That's not good if you're inexperienced, and irritating if you are. However, it does cover a lot of material and has a large number of problems, all with worked solutions. (Some of the solutions are terse).

Great beginner book.  However if you are planning on erecting a tower, this book leaves you with more questions than answers.  There are lots of things indicated as don't-dos and with good explanation.  If you have lots of detailed questions, it doesn't help much.

This is really not a DIY book.  The author installs towers for a living and really pushes the reader to leave the work to professionals.

This is good and informative but not what I thought. This more information and less pictures. Good go to beginner book, I just have a couple already.

I admit my review may not agree with those who are more experienced than I at using this type of software but I can't see me spending the time it would take as a new user to actually learn and use this stuff. There has to be software out there that it doesn't take a degree to use.

Worked good. Instructions lacks key info, as if written by someone who didn't know the product.

Good for a real newbie,  but then maybe that was  more the people he was he was truely writing for, otherwise you probably have already discovered these tips.

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.

The unit arrived quickly and appeared to be in new and good condition.  The package contents were listed as P.S. Tester and Manual.  I guess for the Manual they were referring to three sentences on the package.  The 24, 8 and 6-pin connectors are not obviously keyed so you need to take care to orient each plug correctly.  When I plugged in the 24-pin connector all voltages appearing on the LCD screen looked good.  However, the 12V2 voltage was flashing "LL".  I had no idea what that meant.  The PG value had units of milliseconds.  I had no idea there either so I went looking for information online.  I Googled "LCD Power Supply Tester Manual" and came across a manual by Apevia that seemed to apply to this unit.  I also found videos on Youtube under "LCD Power Supply Tester".  The manual has some accuracy issues (be skeptical of the "Normal Voltage Range" listing) and the video I watched was amateurish, but between the two I was able to get a good idea how everything should work.  I would rate this five stars if it came with a decent manual.

It may be good for beginners, but not worth for money. Better spend same amount for extension tubes.
Used twice, not happy with results.

The modem itself seems pretty well made and it works.  The software is a bear to configure. Am still trying to learn how to do it. Pretty good instructions on-line, but still - not for beginners unless you are willing to wrestle with this beast for hours/days and read through manuals and instructions. I'm a regular person, not a techy.

It is definitely for the beginner.  There are many typos in the book, but it conveyed the information well.  There are many examples that refer the user to an external Web site that contains videos.

This is truly for anyone who has no idea how a timepiece works.  In that respect it's pretty good.  But it's geared towards simply assembling a watch (buying hands, bands, dials, etc) rather than repairing or assembling the internals.  The average rating is for the description, which implies that it goes into more depth.  For example, the description says that it teaches you how to regulate time.  Well, sort of.  It shows you what to adjust to regulate the time, but only tells you how to do it by trial and error.

This was not as bad as described although it is not for beginners for people looking for copy-paste code to run.

I would not recommend this guide to someone not already exposed somewhat to the use of computers.  Some chapters are not as expansive and detailed as they should be.  There are sequences that are difficult to completely understand and apply to the novice.  Senior citizens would not glean helpful beginners' instructions/information because of the involved technical text.  Patricia Clark

Actually not so easy to dive into for the novice or beginning casual student of economics. It is a bit more technical early on that I would have expected or wanted and I found myself having to ask several different friends to explain the examples to me. I wish this had been written more for someone who has no knowledge of economics in mind.
