I'm no expert since I've only browsed Wesley's book in a store
a few times but it seemed to be solid introductory material and
a fair reference. It gets good reviews from readers.
My only negative comment was that it was a very big book for
its content, mainly because the layout had a biggish font and
a lot of white space. But some folks like that. And I'd definitely
prefer too big a font over too small (cf Beasley's Essential
Reference,
its just too small for comfort for my ageing eyes)
