Holt Paperbacks, 1999

Pleasantly surprised

+ Good read

I was pleasantly surprised at the range and number of little nasties in this book. It includes many i would not think to be here, and shows how many are alike. As some other have said, it doesnt go in depth, which would have been nice, but it DOES say how to defeat them, which i can attest work.
