I instantly disliked the book. It is much larger than the other RIC volumes; which are basically all the same size. ??? They call it "RPC format"

For comparison I have placed RIC VII on top of the new RIC volume, it really looks out of place on the bookshelf with the other volumes. Otherwise, I am sure it will be a great reference, but for people that like tidy bookshelves, this one is going to frustrate you.
