  • Good Technical, Bad everything else

    Alayon's book has several typos that would have been easily detected with a simple read through. His technical information is good if poorly constructed. I should say most of his information is good except his highly misinformed view of communicable disease. It is clear his art form is tattooing and not writing as he made many amateur errors. One such error comes at the end of the book where he classifies much of his audience as "PC liberals". I wish I had my $10 back to put toward a better book by a better author.
