Collin is a very knowledge poster. I was skeptical at first because he just recently joined the forums but from what I've seen he knows what he is talking about. I'm sure the book will be good based upon the one or two articles I've already seen him write.

However, with no disrespect towards him, I'm sure it could be better. Before NHLTAP was released didn't a bunch of well respected HSNL guys get to preview and comment on it? The same should happen here. Curtains, gramps, bigjoe03, chrisV, and a few others im forgetting or who stopped playing SnGs would add to the content immensely. Collin is probably the best writer of the bunch, but I'm sure a few of the posters I mentioned have a stronger theoretical background in SnGs. David and Mason please use the resources of the STT forum before publishing this book and I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Getting imput from that many people would be a mess and probably disrupt the flow of the book. The man wrote the book, it his book, he didn't ask for help from those guys. If they want to write a book let them get together and do it. Mason thought the book was fine as is, if he thought it wasn't good enough or needed help he would have said something and Colin would have been free to agree or take his book else where. I am sure D&B would have been interested. It is one thing to make a short essay type post on an internet forum, it is quiet another to write a whole book.

yes i see what you are saying.

But David and (probably) Mason lack a full understanding of Sngs so Mason thinking it is fine probably means just that. It is just fine, or okay. I'm just saying extra input using the resources of this forum would help.

At least two of the posters I mentioned have wrote several articles or started a book already. They have more experience playing than Collin does. Yes, Collin didn't publicly ask for help but maybe he should.
