Sorry, I didn't mean that the writing is unapproachable, just that the length of the book is rather a lot to wade through and digest.

I absolutely agree that I would be unjustified in panning the book without reading it ... but I have skimmed through it at a bookstore and that is sufficient for me to know that indeed it is too theoretical for my taste.

This book gives an excellent, basic introduction to taildragger flying and deals throughly with the theoretical basis behind it ...

I love books, and cannot see any particular harm in books of this sort; but in my opinion the money spent on its purchase would be better spent paying for extra instruction with an experienced instructor.
