So far I have yet to be disappointed (although I only got the book in less than hour ago!). I’ve done a quick review of the first volume and the material it covers is staggering. Hopefully, as I reference the book, I can post a more in-depth review of the set. I’m completely in love.

Detailed and informative coverage. A wonderful series, this will be the reference work on the subject for some time to come.
