Book content is EXCELLENT with lots of color pictures and great ratio of pictures to reading. That makes it beginner friendly. When learning something new, more pictures and less words are more easily understood. GOODWILL CORADO ships their books in PROTECTIVE CARDBOARD envelope type packaging instead of non protective thin flimsy plastic bags like many used book dealers/sellers on here. They also match condition of book to what I consider good or excellent condition catagories.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
