I read this as an audiobook, and thus missed out on the illustrations and on the two appendices. Nevertheless, the text of the book itself was fun and informative. The book starts near the end of the story and then back tracks through weights and measurements history starting in the 1700s. It's a fun trip overall, and worth one's time.
