Loads of great info!

This book is really fascinating, and packed with so much great practical information. It's nicely organized, though you will probably dig around the web for additional resources (like, where can you buy oil soluble green tea extract in Canada? I couldn't find it anywhere in North America, and the author made it sound so compelling. :D ). I took one star off because it has all these great links to further reading, but they (almost) all link to her blog which requires you to sign up and pay additional fees to access it. And when I clicked links that were to outside resources, they were no longer active. Note that you don't HAVE to use these links for this to be a useful book. Not the case at all. I've only spent a few hours with this book and I am super excited about what I'm learning. The oil comparison charts at the end of the book are awesome! If they had oil gravity numbers as well, that would be the icing on the cake. And lastly, I would love to see a list of the author's preferred equipment types. She lists some of it along the way, but it would be nice to have a section dedicated to equipment. (She may have that in one of her other books though.) Overall, it is well worth the money with so much to keep you busy and engaged for a long time. :D
