Review title: RIPOFF. AVOID. Rehash of other books.
Product review: This was a complete waste of ....First of all, ... for 140 pages is a ripoff, compared to the other XP books in the series which have almost double the pages. Probably they could get away with it because the 2 authors are widely known.Second, this is a subset of whats in Extreme Programming Installed. XP Installed is a great book and explains everything covered in this one and more. This book had about 10 pages of additional information that XP Installed didnt. ... for those 10 pages is pretty expensive.Third, Considering the books short length, its further anoying that almost a third of it was just a rehash of what XP is. The real content of the book was maybe 90 pages, and even that has lots of blank pages, end of chapter white space, etc.Save your money, and dont buy this book. Instead read XP Installed. While this book is fair, its just a ripoff of XP Installed and covers less. Just a quick buck for the two authors cashing in on their names.
