Ouch. I lent my copy out. I hope to get it back.
Um, what?

Considering myself and many other pilots use this book as a primary reference for the FARs, I would argue that it is defiantly aviation related.
However I bow to the will of the Mods.

I believe the disconnect may be a result of the incomplete title for the thread. It appears they are referring to Everything Explained For The Professional Pilot which was just released and NOT the Everything Explained app. Here is the link in the app store for it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id634268434?mt=8

It's basically the equivalent to "How to fly airplanes: For dummies."

The full title is "Everything Explained For The Professional Pilot."
It's an FAR and AIM reference book, and does a much better job of explaining the rules than the raw FAR's do.

I dont own a copy. Have read all the great reviews and every time I'm in the local pilot shop I pick it up and think "I should really buy this since everyone says its so damn amazing"... but then I open it, and my eyes are attacked by all the obnoxious font and layout, and I get a migraine, and I drop the book on the floor and walk out. Maybe someday...

Probably not very good for a guy like you, judging from your posts.
Yes, indeed. The FULL TITLE would have been quite helpful.
I don't always have time to click on every link posted in every thread. I offered an explanation of why I moved it. Perhaps more than a "Um What?" would have been more helpful of a reply....
I will put it back in GT, as it is aviation related.

I thought the $50-something for the book was steep. It is a good one to have,
Sorry! I had figured the book was ubiquitous enough that everyone would know what I was talking about. It certainly gets mentioned enough.
Yeah, more tuned for a mouthbreather like myself.
There is a lot of stuff I didn't really get that really clicked as soon as I read it in the book.

I never found it very useful and a PDF with full text search of the FAR/AIM was always quicker at finding what I needed. Also, as Jordan said, the text is distracting as hell. I DID find The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual to be a VERY useful introduction to more advanced aircraft when I was a CFI trying to wrap my head around pneumatics and APUs.
