Hi all, I'd like to make an open "casting call" (sorry, I'm in the TV biz) to all book publishers to post either lists or links to all the books you've got in ...
Don't you think it is getting pretty absurd that you basically publish gushing or very positive reviews of every book the Publishers gift you or you buy? I...
Hi Charles, I'm speaking personally here when I say that I have read my fair share of books, good and bad, in the past so I know a pile of poo when I read one....
I think there is good in every book. Is there not good in every book? I think every book I have makes a good addition to my shelf. I have about 25 .NET...

I see Charles' point, but I've enjoyed Jason's reviews and have seen some warnings and reservations on some. I really appreciated his recent Anders Heljsberg...

Hi Eric, Thanks for commenting. I also forgot to mention in my last post that many of the ASP.NET titles that have come out are written by people who I ...
Hi Dan, Agreed! There are some books I¡¯d rather not read again if given the choice, but I¡¯ve undoubtedly learned something from all of them. ... Jason...
I think there is good in every book also, but if it's only 1 paragraph in a $50 book then it's likely not worth it, and it's also likely not worth a good ...
I think that unfortunately a reviewer (Book reviewer, Movie Reviewer, Food Critic) that desires his/ her opinion to have weight and as Seth Goodin coined the...
