Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the money Comment: There were printing and binding errors, considering the cost this should not be. But much worse is that there appear to be technical errors (differences from the Dragon association teachings) but those could be a direct result of the binding errors, I can't really say as I couldn't easily get beyond the binding problems. Can't say a whole lot more. More Reviews
