Pros: Good For Very Beginers
Cons: It teaches stuff you can find free in the Internet

I actually don't own this book because I read it at the Library and the only way I would recomend this book is if you don't have access to Internet, because everything it teaches you you can find in the Internet, don't get me wrong it does have good tips and tricks but just not any I would pay for.
