I couldn't decide between this one or the one written by Pete himself in 2004. I opted for this one because it came out this year (2024) and it supposedly brought all the information that was out there together. This book has a definite modern/slant bias/correctness to it that I thought I could overlook. I got about 64 pages in and I can't do it. I wish I would have bought his. The order was right, no damage, and it got here very fast. So I can't return. I just ordered the wrong book. Wish I could give this to somebody. I guess I'll have to throw it in the trash.
