Very comprehensive and I do not expect to complete it. The author seems to imply some social commentary concerning the absurdity of how it is necessary to produce such a publication.

Comes highly recommended from a high school teacher friend who used it with mighty good results in her college prep class for "middle" and "lower" students.
