I would have to disagree 200%.

It's by far one of the most complete accounts of whats needed in the
actual implementation of a program, it contains several new ideas,
describes some known ones that weren't formally described before and
it's written in a very understandable way.

Also note that the main parts of it date back to before 1998. It
was only published now because there were a few chapters
that never quite got finished in the years before. This is why some
parts may be dated now.

But even discounting the latter, your comments are downright
insulting and injustified, IMHO.

Maybe I should throw a stack of ICCA journals at you, to learn
to relativate.
