First off I am a fan of Harry's books over the years and have them all. I was however disappointed
with this one because of the following:
1) its overpriced at >$80. I now it is subjective
and that one item used can justify the $$ etc. etc....however the size and content of this one
really does not justify the price tag (should be closer to $30). Harry's really taking his fans to
the cleaner here, escpecially considering #2
2)Harry really cannibalizes his other books in
this one.A lot of the stuff is rehashes of items in his other books. He takes a lot of space in the
book to describe moves that have been described many times in his other books. (I understand this
keeps the book complete) The thing that bothered me the most was that he included an entire section
of tricks from one of his other books that I paid big bucks for. Now I paid for this same material
again.Not cool.
3)Not what I consider practical professional routines. More of the
enthusiast type routines requiring dealing, spelling etc.(Nothing inherently wrong with this, just
the whole book is mostly this type of thing).
4) Its a small thing but Harry keeps double
referencing his books because he re-wrote them in the classic collection books. To me this is
slightly annoying and comes across as constant advertising throughout the book.
Not writing
this to bash Harry (as he is a great writer and a legend) just thought people buying this should
know what they are getting for the high price tag on this relatively small book.
Because of
these things. I can't recommend this book to anyone, except maybe the most hardcore Lorayne fans
that want to collect anything he has written.
Overpriced and disappointed.
