"If you are in your early stages of climbing or know someone who is keen to learn more about this sport then I couldn’t recommend this book enough. Even if you have been bouldering a long time it is a useful coffee table aid to help explain to non climbing friends exactly why it is you don’t just walk round the back all the time."
