So far both theory and practical application...heavier on the practical side.

I saw in reading the Table of Contents that they had a section on Spreads. How is that because I have not been able to find a good book on that.

I have only skimmed that chapter so far but it looks very in depth. The book was recommended to me by a MM from the PCX as the "bible"....so i suspect the whole book is good.

If you ask anymore questions about it I am going to charge you $75 for the book report....which is more than the book...lol
