I've only got one question, and its the only one that matters...
Has anyone read the thing? Is it correct? What happens if the manual contradicts Help pages or, God forbid, policy?
That's a good question. Someone should email the author and see if he'll release a preview version so we can point out any errors or bad points which could be improved.
Not to mention it'd give us a head-start on any specific outstanding problems he covers. It'd be unfotunate if a popular hardcover book immortalizes a stupid edit or other infelicity that could've been fixed with a trivial bit of coding or a minute or two of editing...
