I too bought a copy about a year ago on a recommendation. The first page that I randomly opened had a glaring and critical error (I think it was an incorrect formula for Coefficient of Lift). I picked another random page and found a couple of errors in the text. Then another page with an incorrectly drawn diagram.

The book is FULL of mistakes. It really shouldn't have passed quality control and the editor deserves a slap. The publishers really should have recalled the lot of them and had them pulped.

If you know enough to spot all the errors, you probably don't need the book anyway. If you can't spot the errors, this book could stitch you up.

Beware!
