Actually I think he is quite an interesting writer. If we look at his play and results, except for Stud I believe he is very strong in most games. His book was geared towards beginners and is an excellent resource for new players. His anecdotes (Scotty's a2 in O8 and Ted Forrest's experiment are also very interesting).
I Play most of the main games with Stud and Omaha being my weakest so i can appreciate the effort in writing a book on all the main games.
It's a different kind of book which is not as mathematical and a bit more biographical than most.
