Customer Reviews

A thorough well presented mountain of facts & explaination

Great for anyone who wants a "hands-on" guide to the mechanics of scanning & printing. Lots of comparison charts to show different techniques, loads of explination of those hard to grasp subjects. Brilliant worked tables. Well worth the money! :O)
