Query: Very disappointed amateur

This book does not live up to the hype.It's got poor black and white photographs that I don't understand and are often not adequately explained.On numerous occasions he jumps past things that are NOT obvious to a beginner. His descriptions of the various items range from excellent to terrible.I've seen this advertised as 'The essential lathe book with a complete description of parts and functions.' THAT IS NOT TRUE.I am an amateur. It doesn't meet my needs. Consign it to the dustbin of history and pray someone writes a better book than this.
