In that thread(and I'm para-phrasing some), one contributor replied that it was ok for the coffee table; not so good for the garage. I believe that statement overall, best describes this book.

In my opinion, Stu Ritter was looking for some quick $$$. He could have done a lot better that this. He sold his garage in Denver and supposedly went into some kind of start-up internet operation which supposedly flopped pretty quick.

The Haynes UK book is far superior for about the same amt. of $$. Also, consider the MB CD-Rom and this site has a ton of info in the archives. The SEARCH function here will pull up all sorts of good information.
Evidently you have a problem with Stu Ritter, I read his articles in the "Star" where he is the Technical Editor, which is something you left out in the "critque". I am impressed with his knowledge and skills. I also usually look at what the critic has posted to verify their credentials and I am convinced that empty cans make more noise!
