I purchased this at a discount during a sale, and it didn't include vol.s 1 and 3. As a stand alone
volume, it's not bad, although I believe the entire series would be better to have. It's designed
for those new to magic/rope magic, and is a bit "basic". There is, however, a lot of good and
useful information that I'm glad I now have. Daryl, of course, is a master teacher as well as
magician. This is not the same caliber as Richard Sanders' "Fiber Optics," but is a nice, and
different source for tidbits and such. I'd like to find the other two volumes and complete the
set--love rope magic!
