Critic Reviews

“Very good coverage of topic - we have purchased many Access series before.”

The book is easy to read and use; the summaries are excellent for revision purposes. There are some good, and as yet unused, primary sources, for practice with candidates, and a wealth of illustrations to keep the readers interested...this is a book worthy of purchase. -- SATH Resources Review 20030918
