The Complete Book of Bits & Bitting

Summary: A Good Book Ruined by the Commentary
Review: I rated this book with 2 stars because the illustrations are many and clear. Unfortunately, this pompous author ruins what could have been a very educational book (wasn't this the purpose? And if not should this not have been the purpose?) by adding his own negative and sarcastic comments about equipment that he personally deems inappropriate. It was shocking to me. Particularly so when a young equestrian student of mine, enthusiastic to learn as much as he can about our sport, was disappointed and saddened by author's pointless remarks - commenting that the author 'sounded angry'. To Amazon and the publisher I would say - I'd like my money back but I don't think the book is worth the postage to return it.
