Not new - I picked this up in 2015 when it came out. It ... isn't a real page turner.

Soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent though :).

I dare say that if you're the sort of person who enjoys reading instruction manuals it will have some value. I dare say that a fair few members of this site are that sort of person...

So it's not such a book as Sharp's issue is? I like Sharp's book and his style.

Oh hey I just played the author over at PlayDip. His philosophies were working well for him until he got booted from the site for metagaming halfway through our game.

So what about the book? Is it worth buying/reading?
Is it better than R.Sharp's book? Or equal?

I read a passage of it somewhere, seemed credible enough. Plenty of free e-zines and forum posts out there with just as quality of insight though.

Will do. I’ll start getting some diplomacy thoughts and discussions going at some point as well, just haven’t had time yet.
