Title: Good First Draft
Product review: The book has a great table of contents, but it reads more likea first draft than a polished presentation. Many of thetechniques are explained in the same style as the researchpaper they came from, and so the book comes across like a seriesof synopses, which can make it hard to read. I often foundthe explanations unclear -- it didn't read like a book thathad been class tested.Still, I have occasionally found some useful tidbits in thebook, so I gave it two stars rather than one. There's a goodbook buried in here -- hopefully the author will prepare asecond edition.
