User friendly, high quality information
When you purchase a Gibbs Guide, you gain access to top quality, carefully researched information presented in a user-friendly style. Each guide is laid out in short, easily absorbed blocks of text. All Gibbs Guides work is carefully crafted so that the newcomer can gain a sound understanding of the basic principles, while still allowing the more experienced modeller to develop a greater understanding.

Explanations are built up slowly and thoroughly, one simple stage at a time using individual short paragraphs. This helps to make complex ideas seem simple so it becomes easy to develop a solid understanding. Many hours are spent creating and refining each page to make sure the concepts and explanations presented are clear and easy to understand.

Once a guide is completed, it's tested on modellers of varying experience levels to make sure they can be understood both by beginners with no prior knowledge, and by more experienced modellers looking for a greater depth of understanding. An index allows rapid access to each topic, allowing you to quickly find any topic you’d like to review again.
