Book Review: Learning Tools
Summary: 4 Stars

I have only had the chance to peruse this book lightly thus far. From what I can see in the table of contents and thumbing through, the book covers most of the topics I'm interested in. Due to personal duties which require my immediate attention, I've not had time to give it my full attention. But once able to read further, I will be more than happy to update my findings.
