I'd describe it as perfectly accurate. I continue to buy computer
books at an alarming rate :) and O'Reilly gets more than half of my
business, but even when it was released it was my vote for worst
O'Reilly title and 2nd worst computer book I'd read in 20 years! After
reading it, the only excuse I could imagine was that getting *anything*
out the door was job #1 and there was no job #2.
Thank you to the authors of "Cocoa Programming"!
