I think it's fair enough for a developer of the framework to write a book. This gives a more comprehensive insight in the framework. Buying a book is a choice to be exercised by us . No one forces us. If it is well written and worth it why not buy it. As far as documentation goes, I do agree

Just to clarify, I donated my time to submit a few chapters and to review some of the other content that is going into the book. And yes, you read that right...I donated my time. We don't accept royalties at Google. I can't comment on the amount of 2.1 content in the book, but I can say
