Not much more than a pamphlet:
IMHO, this book is too expensive for the content. The author writes with enthusiasm, the drawings are good, and section on knots useful.The chapter on casting,however, may as well be summed up as "You can do it!". There is a void to be filled here, but I did not think this book did it.
