While this is chock full of great information and drawings, the writing is very terse and dry. Hard to follow sometimes. The illustrations all look like they were done, though neatly, by hand. You can probably do better looking some of this stuff up on the internet, with this book to guide you. No real overarching narrative and no large pretty pictures, so hard to really sit down and dig into, but rewarding once one has done so, because if you have the motivation it will be worthwhile. So yes "source book" sums it up neatly.
