Average Rating:
 Rating: - Good specific infoSomeone said this was for someone who lives in a cave with no new info, but I found the specific info (how a jack should fit, etc) to be very useful.

What was lacking was that it had very little informaiton on best practises on cleaning, taking care of, washing, etc. I wish it would include more photos of more samples ...
