Receptionedit
The Register (UK) called it "a great one-stop source for information of the world’s go-to source for information."[3] David Weeks of MyMac.com called it a "fine reference guide" and praised its comprehensive content, but mildly criticized the book's length. He recommended that readers start by skimming through the book and consult it later for more detailed guidance when editing.[4]
