Yeah, I saw them talking about the book on TVG yesterday. Of course, Todd used the opportunity to promote himself and describe how he was "featured" in another book (all of two paragraphs).

I would be curious to know if anybody has read this book and get their thoughts about it.

I thought they said it was a pre-release version they were reading, kind of like a rough draft. Made me think it isn't available yet.

Pretty spare web site. Not much there about the book except for a paragraph and some "log-rolling." (Having people you did favors for return them.)

For $11 plus postage, I guess there's not much risk. Plus there are no reviews on Amazon and four people are selling the book. I'm anxious to read anything new but I'm a bit skeptical on this one.

Noticed they misspelled Lando's name as "Land" when describing his 40 years as a journalist.

Scroll down a little further---I defy anyone to decipher what the section PRESS AND EVENTS is about.

I think I bought this book years ago. If it is the one, it wasn't bad just okay.

It says the release date was May 10,2016. Only been out since then and people are reselling it. That might tell you something. But I'm a sucker for this stuff , so I ordered it.

Might just be a new edition.

I'm not willing to spend the money until someone confirms it's a new book.

I purchased the book and received it today.
Copyright is 2015

Read the first three chapters while waiting at the doctor today.
He outlines lots of positive handicapping tells (factors). Many of them
are useful I would think.

287 pages. I'll post some other opinions when I finish the book.
