I requested and received a review copy of this, on the off chance that it fell into the category of "weird and eccentric, but completely brilliant" (see Russell Walter's "Secret Guide to Computers", amazing work, do check this out).
It doesn't fall into this category at all. It's exactly as bad as you are imagining. I don't have the PDF handy to cite exactly what, but I do recall that it's poorly formatted, poorly written, chews up a lot of pages with lists and screenshots, and contains a lot of information that is just plain wrong. (Just like a lot of non-novelty-press books I get! :) ) It was bad enough that I just didn't even want to write anything about it. I figured there wasn't much risk that readers of my site would care to spend any money on it anyways, so I'd just be beating on it for the humor. That's fun too sometimes, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend any more time with it.
