Since the first two editions of this book have appeared many models have come and gone and micro books and magazines have blossomed.

But this one is hard to categorise; I found it hard to see who would find it useful.

It might find a home with a user group or club, but it's not for the average user.

And unfortunately, though not surprisingly, the section on machines is out of date already.

But on the plus side, the book contains very useful appendices.
