I have a previous edition of this one

[http://www.cengagebrain.com/shop/isbn/9781428311497](http://www.cengagebrain.com/shop/isbn/9781428311497)

There’s a lot of good information in there. And you can learn at your own pace. In some cases, the book will do a better job explaining how things work than we do.

Looks like I can get it used for as low as $35. I will order a copy. Sounds like a massive goldmine of info.
