Summary: not advertised as being outdated
Comment: The information that is in the book was probably great in 1999 but that is when it was written. It turned out to be next to useless and a waste of money. It is too bad that it has not been updated. It is worse that you don't know how old the information is until you get the book. Shame. Shame.
