To summarize what I found: there aren't any ratings at Amazon or GoodReads for this new (2016) edition. For the 1999 edition, they're
abysmal--2.0 (6) at Amazon; 2.90 (49) at GoodReads (that may be for all 5 editions of this book that GoodReads shows as having been published, not just the 1999 one).
I deleted the book. After the fact, I realized that maybe I shouldn't have been so hasty, that maybe this most recent edition is much better than the previous editions. But, I've rarely seen that happen.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. If nothing else, you may want to peruse the book (more thoroughly) before grabbing it, even though it is free.
