I was browsing thru this book today at Costco. Does anyone own this? I was thinking of adding it to my christmas list. Seems like something cool to have around.

I saw this last week. It looked ok, but probably not something I'd buy...with the Internet, I'm not sure buying a reference book is worth the money anymore. Although I wouldn't mind receiving it as a gift.

That's what I was thinking too. Better than getting a sweater that I'll never wear.
