    Hi this is naumkeag. I still need someone's opinion.

    This is naumkeag. I just posted asking for someone's opinion. I just got the sample but it is really crappy. No info what so ever. All it had was the title, a few of thes dedication pages' and 19 pages of contents. Please post you opinion of this book and adress it to naumkeag.
