Starting at page 143 any word that is spelled with either fi and fl ligature (ie. field or flower) has a blank space where these ligatures should be. This a problem with the font they used to update the text for the 3rd edition. Googleplay will only offer a credit on your next purchase. Stay away from the eBook until they fix it!!!!

I purchased this not realising that it contains none of the illustrations that makes the hardcopy that much greater. The hardcopy is only a few dollars more so is worth it until the pictures/full version is included
