FWIW, this book was recommended by a delayed spammer whom I've since banned (they edited spam into a post of theirs in another thread). A delayed spammer is an account that posts seemingly legitimately and then only some time later edits their post with some ad link, often about essay writing or drugs. Some threads are magnets for these spammers. And unfortunately this thread is one of them as several have been banned from it already as I'm sure more will be in the future.
Anyway, it may still be a worthwhile book, it's certainly by a well known author, but I'm just posting to let everyone know to maybe be a bit skeptical of any advice from an account with only a few posts or less.
