It's well-laid out, beautifully instructional and inspirational, and motivational ー due to Mark being a positivity reinforcing personality. Distributed via Google Play Books as photo copies in the form of PDFs displaying low resolution illustrations when viewed through the Play Books app (on this Samsung phone with a 2k capable screen)
