Yes, it's a solid book.....
Directed mainly at the beguinner to novice player. The end of the book is more for expert play. Fred has all his own count systems in this book. I don't like the unbalanced KISS counts that much. Through his testing he shows the stage three KISS count to be better then KO. I'm not sure about that, I think both KO and Red 7 are better. His Mentor count is interesting. It's a level two count, which was designed to be similar to the Zen count. I don't know anyone who uses it but it appears to be pretty good. It looks a bit harder to use then Zen.
