Query: its a good book

Phil's book was the first poker book I had purchased when I began playing poker at a more competitive level. Prior to reading this book, I had failed at the lowest levels of poker in both limit and no limit play. I studied his book and my winnings increased almost 300% within a few weeks. His general principals and guidlines are just that and need to be implemented in your own style of play. This book is not meant to be the sole guide to your game, however is defineately very useful and easy to read for the beginning player. Phil is a world class poker player and has had much success in his life at the table. We don't have to like him, but I don't have to like people to be able to learn from them either. His style is much like mine and I wouldn't be at the level I am at had I not purchased his book. I've certainly added to my collection as my game has improved but this is the perfect book for beginning players.
