I've long been anticipating this book, and just received it today (I pre-ordered it a month ago). So I thought I'd give my thoughts about it before I've read it, and then write another review once I have and see if it lives up to my expectations.
I'll start with what I know of the author. I was first introduced (not personally) to Marty Gallagher on Ori Hofmekler's the Warrior Within online radio show. I could already tell that Marty had a great deal to bring to the table. Then I hear about this book and do a little more research on him. I learn that he doesn't have a lot to bring to the table, HE BRINGS THE TABLE. The respect he is given by many of the greats is astounding and speaks volumes about what he knows.
From the reviews posted by those who recieved pre-release copies of the book (lucky bums) not one bad thing has been reported. Again, even the greats grant this book as much respect as its author, which again speaks volumes.
My first reaction when I recieved the book: WOW, ITS HUGE. At first I thought the box it came in was a little big for it, but then I open the box and realize it wasn't, the book's just that big. In fact I don't think it really qualifies as a book, more like a text book.
After all of that, and seeing the table of contents, this "book" looks like it covers just about everything, from all angles. I really can't wait to learn what secrets are hidden in this monster. Time to read...
God Bless
