I think the new R/S lab book is great, if not for the scenarios for the
proctor hints. It did go over a few things I've never seen (nor thought
about before). I wouldnt say this book is a stand-out as far as technology
but it's most useful for learning "how" to think on the lab. The editing in
the new book leaves a bit to be desired :)
