Ratings and reviews

Just started sleep listening as I use the read aloud feature. You can't beat the price as this book has over 1,000 pages with great illustrations. And the price is unheard of for such a wealth of information. Great Job to the people who put this together.

There are so many misspelled words in the electronic version. Good book but someone needs to fix all the mistakes.

Pay for this book but for some reason I cannot open it. Contacted google support and followed all instructions and still cannot open. I should be reimbursed.
