Steve,

I thought I would let you know that you are not alone on this one.  I
don't care how good the book is, I will not puchase a book in that title
line.

I am a person who is proud that I use my intellect to make a living.  By
purchasing a book in that title line, I acknowledge that I am "dumb".  I am
not dumb.

I have browsed through several of the titles and the quality is variable.
Some look like excellent resources while others are rush to
market/superficial tree killers.

The technical books maket has very strong competition. Combine it with
internet resources like this one and I have plenty of alternatives.  Yeah,
it's only a title... it's also my money.


John

Frankly, I find the whole "For dummies" titles very insulting.  I'll never
put
up a book and label myself as that.
