Granddaughter loved it

Ordered this book and it just arrived. Mindful of all the criticism in other reviews like it being insubstantial etc. I ask, what people are expecting?The book starts from the beginning as it discussings the anatomy of a microscope and does on to discuss some of the theory of biology so a non bio (like me) can understand it!It then discusses slide prep which i think is a must for anyone entering this game.i will be investigating the book more over the coming weeks and will update accordingly. Some compared it to a magazine etc. well perhaps its similar in size but a bit thicker but isnt it quality over quantity.if you give the book a chance, it will change your mind i think. Dont forget the instructional videos that come with this.

Bought this as part of my granddaughters Christmas presents, but was disappointed when I opened the package and saw how insubstantial the book was; it is more of a glossy magazine and a thin one at that. What there is of it appears to be quite useful as an introductory guide to microscopes, but based on quantity of content is not good value for money. I was expecting something more substantial that would be a good reference book into the future. If I had seen this book in a bookshop I would never have bought it.

Awesomely lovely book which really fires up the modern teenager. It's got to be good if it gets them outside, in the fresh air and away from Xboxes!

Its the best book i have ever purchased from amazon even if its only for 12 year olds

Awesome
