As in every nook book I have purchased, the illustrations and charts are virtually illegible. So I had no benefit from the play diagrams and graphic representations of the game, unfortunately. This detracted from my experience of the book. Hate to buy paper editions, but this one might have been more useful in paper. The text itself seems good although rather too long-winded.
