I agree that the book ix expensive, but that's almost always the case for books published by the ABA for reasons I've never quite understood. Care to elaborate on why you think the book is horrible and lacks substance? I'm all for discussion of its merits, but that's tough to do without a bit more to go on. To quote Ezra Pound, "Any general statement is like a check drawn on a bank. Its value depends on what there is to meet it." Lorraine, thanks for your comment.
