Full solutions. More than 450 illustrations.

Please note: A century's old Britsh monetary system is used throughout, but is conveniently explained, for the unfamiliar, at the start of the ebook.

BTW, I converted the images used in the ebook from .png to .gif so as to reduce the ebook's size to the current 6MB. Mobipocket Creator had originally (internally) converted the 4-bit .png to a larger size that had resulted in a 17MB ebook!
