clever and detailed, but flawed
Let me start off by saying my attention span is too short to have read this book completely. The good news is that the book is only about 200 pages, so I probably will read all of it.There are a lot of great ideas and some great information contained in the book. If you've been wanting to limit results returned from an RPG program without rewriting, or if you've heard of OPNQRYF but have been afraid to try it, this book is for you. I would have given it 4 stars, but it needs to be sent back to the technical editor. There are extra characters, missing characters, missing attributes like "Ten raised to the first power (101)..." (missing the superscript), just plain typos (unmatched quotes on command line parameters). Most of the errors are in examples that will fail because of them. Fix the "typos" and this book might even be a 5 (haven't read it all yet...)
