I enjoyed the lessons and plan on using this with my sons as they grow in their love of the game.
I read this in an electronic version and the diagrams were confusing at times. This is definitely a book that would be better to have a physical copy, looking at the diagrams on the page and being able to see a two-page spread.
Good book on a great game.
