Denny hits it right on the head.....  if a book stinks, you can choose not to 
buy it.   But it may prevent another, carefully researched and well made book 
from coming to market.

This happened just recently with another Chicago area railroad that has had 
nothing published on it until recently.... and IMHO the book is near to being a 
hack job from an author that doesn't know the railroad (although it isn't as 
bad as others that he has cranked out books for).   As the only book on the 
subject it is not without any merit as it has some photos that have never been 
published before... but it could have been and should have been so much 
better.....and probably will prevent a better book from being published because 
it knocked off the casual interest market for that road.

The worst thing is that 
books such as these tend to blot out the market for years for those 
following who would do far better.
