Has anybody read this book on relativity?

In summary, Goldbeetle is reading "The Einstein Theory of Relativity: A Trip to the Fourth Dimension" by Lieber and has some doubts. They are asking if anyone has read the book and can answer their questions. Someone offers to help address their doubts and suggests Goldbeetle explain them in their next post. Goldbeetle also asks if they can attach scanned pages from the book to their reply.
