Reader Reviews
This large, fat, reference has 762 pages in a very light 10-point typeface (perhaps 9-point). The lightness of the font makes the small type almost unreadable. Worse, almost every page has a view of a Vista window, with type so small as to be absolutely unreadable, and with the images printed in a very light gray, so that the images are almost useless. The text may be correct, but what good is it if it is unreadable? And by the way, the index type is smaller still. Get a big magnifying glass or buy a different guide to Vista.
