The problem with the looking in the Amazon book inspectionally is they have it almost entirely ass backwards (they limited me to reading the first few pages). The first thing you want to do once you get up to reading the table of contents is to dive into the chapters that seem most crucial to the book and then read a few paragraphs here and there. That is the only way you can tell if a book is good and Amazon does not let you do it : I just tried it before posting here.
