Customer feedback highlights the exercises, practical format and appeal to beginners, with some customers describing the workbook as a useful addition to the main book. That fits its stated role as a 40-exercise companion, rather than evidence that it replaces the main guide. Ratings are mostly in the top two star categories, though a small lower-star share means experiences are not uniformly positive.
Positive themes
- Customers describe it as helpful for beginners and appreciate having more exercises than in the main book.
- The customer summary mentions the practical format and viewfinder, and describes it as money well spent.
