The updates that are included in this revision help the book keep current with what is currently happening in the industry. Read this book cover to cover once; you will reference it over and over forever.”

A must have book. I’ve had mine for 9 years and it keeps leaving my desk as colleagues borrow my copy. I’m getting an extra to keep for my own use!
