GREAT BOOK - A MUST HAVE, GREAT LEARNING TOOL,
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! This is a great book to get you involved in this subject. Plenty of examples for all skill levels and are both detailed and useful. Much of this information can't be found in other books. The chapters are well written and in-depth. I recommend this book for anyone that is trying to become an expert on the subject.
We also find it curious that all these books are from Wordware Publishing (which, in my experience, is a shitty outfit from whom I haven't seen ONE good book; I mean, literally).
When I noticed this smartass first, I have committed the Amazon No.1 sin: I posted a surgeon-general sort of warning in the comments section of every single review by this turd. Today I've noticed that they are all gone: here we obviously see the result of the good old delete-and-repost manoeuvre so frequently used by dishonest reviewers when they want to get rid of comments bringing their shenanigans to light. So, all in all, I see in Mark-O good 'topreviewer' material...
Please join me in welcoming Marc-O of Columbus, OH to our select list of Our Friends Top Reviewers!
Stop the press! As investigated by poster "Cathy", reviewer Mark-O also sells the books he reviewed in the used section as 'ship-now-books' 1. This man is really good!

That's about as blatant as they come.
Malleus, what happened to all your comments today? Did the NGHVM get you too?
Oh oh, detective Cathy to the rescue here :-0
I clicked on Marc-O's profile and noticed a "nickname" of shipnowbooks. Just for the h### of it, I clicked on the info for a couple of those books he's reviewed and voila! there is a seller of that book called........
Can you guess? SHIP-NOW-BOOKS.
A lot of them got 'deleted-by-Amazon', it seems. Nothing new, it's happened before: the Grady Bunch starts clicking on 'report-this' and there you go. I'm all right though, I can post and what not. Btw, have you noticed that Harp got rid of comments again? Delete/repost? Gotta be it: it's pristine now. Check it out.
PS. :-) Good investigation! I'm not surprised at all... This guy wipes out comments, so he obviously is asking for more attention.
He's taking a page from Gunny's book. I guess it's a nice little earner for some people.
Btw, Boudville wiped some comments too.
Just for the record, I only looked at the first four of the books he reviewed with the carbon copy verbiage, and those I found to be listed by Ship-Now-Books. I don't know about the rest and I'm not going to look tonight. I have a book to read.
BTW, Stanley welcome to the blog!
I looked: he sells every single one of them (except for the last, which isn't Wordware).
Bingo! Mark-O has deleted and reposted all reviews again (to get rid of comments). Funny, Amazon doesn't mind thirty-four copy/pasted five-star reviews from a seller of the same books... Anything (with five stars) goes, I guess. ;-)
On or about August 19, Mark-O changed his seller nickname to from 'shipnowbooks' to '123marko'. You can run but you can't hide though.
