I also found the description and synopsis to be good enough to forgive the 
author for flogging his own product and will be ordering the book.

Is there a news group dedicated to technical book & publication reviews?
Should there be?  I subscribe to ACM's Computing Reviews, and a newsgroup
of this type would be of great benefit.

(I apologise in advance for just throwing the question into the air with 
the hope that some poor soul will take it and run.  Aside from dumping
the news, I'm not on the network enough (or familiar with the procedures)
to even consider trying to establish or mediate a news group.)
