I have this book and really like it in general. The wheel building section is good as far as it goes, but IMO, is far less complete and significantly lacking compared to that supplied in Roger Musson's book. For example, it says nothing about determining ERD and how to measure spoke length. Also, there's no significant discussion on to pros/cons and why/wherefores of various lacing methods... It pales in comparison.
