I have no opinion as to the quality of this book but I have a definite 
opinion about an author (or anyone else) who places a commercial 
advertisement on the net for their own product/service. I was of the
 belief that this was not the purpose of this forum.

I also question the value to the reader of a book review written by one 
of the authors. I assume this to be the case since the message was posted 
by Mr Strayer and the  statements made are not attributed to any other 
source. The authors may indeed "offer a keen insight into XTP". I would
 prefer however to have that evaluation come from an independant source.
