Not really a process breakdown of "How to"
Format: Hardcover
This book is more of a giant portfolio, I was expecting a little bit more of a behind the scenes of the process breakdown. Overall it's nice to see and analyze but that's really it.

Horrible reading experience
Format: Kindle
Can't zoom in on text. Which makes the text size barely readable even when I tried to read it on a desktop monitor and the experience is worse on mobile. For some reason when grabbed a sample from the Google play book store their ePub version reads beautifully. Amazon, I would like a refund but do not see the option for a refund on this item. ... show more

Kindle format sucks !
Format: Kindle
The kindle format is really tiny even when you click to increase size. Note not a book review but a kindle format review.
