I think that almost every book is better than powerbook.

If you have something that is huge then it is full of blunders(there is no way
to avoid blunders if the thing is too big).

If you do a book from all the public chess games in the world including
championship of childs under 10 then you can be sure that you are going to have
many mistakes in your book.


I wonder why you believe that bigger must be better.
