If John Croteau were in a book, I'd walk around going, "Look, I've got John

Croteau in a book!!" while opening and closing the book all over the place!


I've got the Plant book and the Milburn/Warner book.  About the only thing

I'll say is:


Plant:  good book, but probably a bit difficult for the first time flasher

and a tough read.  I've actually seen Darrel around (posting, etc.) and he

has a lot of usefulness in his book...I'm just saying that it's sometimes a

dry read, and those are probably restrictions set by someone else.  Not a

bad book at all.


Milburn/Warner:  Easy read, but hard to find its usefulness.  The only time

I've seen Ken Mulburn on this list or other Flash lists has been to promote

his $50 book with less-than-promised-additionals on the CDRom.  I'm

hard-pressed to recommend this one to anyone.
