Reviews

"Jones explains all this and more in a clear and easy to read style that makes the long theoretical lines less intimidating. Concrete analysis gets a decided preference, but there is still plenty of explanatory prose to guide the reader....

This book is highly recommended for all who play the Dragon or who are thinking of taking it up."
