As you can see he makes hard choices for this mini-kit....paper matches, foil mirror, etc. but the first part of the book outlines the various categories and the options that can be utilized in the kits...mini kits get smaller less capable stuff, car kits get the more capable stuff.

He emphasises the choices and the effects of these choices...overall I think a nice reference.

Some things are changing so fast (LED lights for instance) that these sections will become outdated, but otherwise he covers solid tools and offers up a nice selection of kits.

He has a very good resources list too and kits are discussed in the text and then specifically listed in the appendix.

I got mine for around $10 on Amazon.
