layout

I was disappointed to find the book still has layout problems. Shame because it looks like mainly a simple formatting issue. I wouldn't have bought this digital version if I had seen this before.

Great book

Great book, however the digital layout for Apple's iBook is messed up. Don't buy this digital book until the layout is fixed.
