I just purchased and have only read the first 26 pages of this book, but what I've read so far seems very legitimate and well presented. I'm actually liking this one better than LaBerge's (though I was not new to LDing when I began to read either).

I got another one too, haven't really started it yet. I read a few pages and it was enough to keep me from putting it back on the shelf, but didn't really have me turning the pages like this one does. Simple, legit, very straight-forward and this-is-not-a-new-age-subject; really seems excellent for beginners. I may not feel that way once I've finished, but I do so far!
