Can someone help me improve this layout or proof read it?

I've been told this layout would make a very poor pcb, so what could I do to improve the artwork. Some problems that were brought to my attention were: Many Solder Bridge potentials, thin traces, sharp angles and trouble drilling through the pads. I could space out the traces a bit more but, I'm afraid that some components won't fit properly, if I do that. Also, what would having sharp angles in the pcb affect(I'm a noob to PCBs). Lastly, I've looked at a few other pcbs and the pads on them are very small as are the drilled holes, so I would think the pads are big enough? Or if anyone knows of a good gcb-95 pcb layout could they direct me to it. Here are links to the layout and the schematic:

Thanks in advanced!

I have two GCB-95 PCB's kicking around, fully populated. Actually, I pulled them out of working Crybaby's, because I used the casings for other projects.

If you want them, you can have them. Just pay the postage, and save yourself the work.

PM me if interested.

Thanks to both! That book definitely looks worth it, and that'd be great Dino, thanks!
