Mason you're not giving enough credit to him here, and not taking his opion seriously. They say don't judge a book by it's cover, but if I pick up a book, and the first 20 something pages suck, I'm going to return it. The poster says that more than 50 pages suck which is a lot. If more people say or think the same thing you have a problem.

For almost any instructional book I can think of, the first 1/6th of the book will almost certainly be a review of things I already know. Even that is not a bad thing, there is nothing wrong with reviewing and strengthening the basics.

If you're going to judge a 300 page technical book by 50 of its pages, at least make it the last 50 (not counting the index and appendix).
