Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A bit outdated. Could use some more recent essays.

⭐Purtroppo il venditore ha dovuto mandare una seconda copia senza costi aggiuntivi, visto che la prima si è persa. Comunque venditore molto gentile, ha sempre risposto alle mail e chiarito ogni dubbio. Ci sarebbe da cercare una soluzione ai pacchi provenienti dall’America però, ogni volta è da giocare alla roulette russa con la dogana…
