Sheffield City centre WH Smith had some copies today. On the whole, as a
neophyte, I was generally pleased. I sense that they were cramming as many FAQs
as possible to give as broad an appeal as possible. As a consequence alot of
it, though basic, was rushed and skimped on some of the detail I might have
liked. Something handled without much explanation in a column of text could
have done with three or four pages and pointers to the appropriate man pages.
They probably had limited page count and wanted to make an impression.

I'm going to give positive feedback, and hope they get sufficient interest to
put it on a regular footing.
