Ratings and reviews

Were is the "trouble shooting?" Where is the: if this is happening & this is happening, then this is the problem. I dont need another text book.

Horribly out-of-date with tools, instruments and methodologies being described, that date back to the 1950s. No mention of anything in the current century... a waste of money.
