I think the review by Tim Bell (http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DBEVFGO3A4F7/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1922168963&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=) is unfair. My wife is from the Soviet Union, and she says this book is vastly superior to the German fashion magazine Burda that first appeared in the Soviet Union (in Russian) in 1987, during the height of toilet paper shortages. Glossy pages must be prepared at length before use, by first crinkling, and then rubbing the sheets of the paper against the sharp edge of a desk or table to soften them (a lengthy process), and even then, they are thoroughly non-absorbent and really not up to the job. Cory Bernardi's book, on the other hand, is printed on softer, more absorbent paper, so prep time is much shorter.

I was very impressed with the quality. They seem to be for professionals. The cut is very close and smooth. There was no pinching or cutting the skin. I would classify them as trimmers and close cut clippers.

This book convinced me to terminate my pregnancy on the off chance that I would raise a child that turned out like Cory Bernardi.

Love my ray ban! I bought this frame and send the prescription to Walmart. Save tons of money, at least U$200.
