[edit] Question of POV and Unsubstantiated Claims

This article of the book too strongly implies that everything the book says is true. Rather than saying that the book "asserts" something to be true, the article says the book "explains" this or that "fact", which leads to a supposition of accuracy on the part of the book. However none of these assertions are supported with outside evidence or sources.

I should like to edit this article in future to reflect a more unbiased point of view. By this I mean, making it clear what the book argues and using verbs that show that this is the author's or authors' view, not necessarily established fact.

Finally, comments about the "rising popularity" of the book, should be supported by statistics or omitted. Is this book/handbook even need to be on Wikipedia? How popular is it? It has no author nor publisher given.

I agree. We need 3rd-party sources for this article. If they aren't available then that's a sign that it isn't notable enough for an article. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, I couldn't take it any more. I edited it, along the lines suggested above. If you think I went too far (or not far enough), please change it. Morandir (talk) 16:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
