Table of contents IS NOT interactive. You must page through hundreds of pages to find anything.

If you are getting this to learn anything new, don't waste you're time. This book should be labeled very differently, I gave it the low score because its basically of no use to the majority of people that will buy it to use for writing. Everything in this book a small child probably already knows. The most basic of language is in this book. Its a good book if you don't know a lot of English, like someone who speaks Spanish and is trying to learn English. Remember, buyer beware.
