Yes, I believe them to be unfair. I have both editions and think they
are excellent work (especially the second).
Let me suggest to everyone that has both read and enjoyed the second
edition of John's book to go to www.amazon.com, do a ISBN search on
0201342936, and enter your review. It would be a pity if only those
with an ax to grind spoke up.
It takes a few days for reviews to appear. If you like the book, I
encourage you to say so!
