William Briggs usually has some interesting statistical insight on his blog but this one is just simply math for a change.

Bugbear's Book Rating System

Buy, eARC

Buy the electronic Advanced Reader Copy. This is my highest rating and it means the book is so good that the minor editing errors are erased by the quality of the story.

Buy, Hardcover, New

Buy a new hardcover copy of the book since you'll be re-reading the book quite often.

Buy, Paperback New

Buy a new paperback copy since the book's good enough to support the author.

Buy, Hardcover, Used

It's an okay book but the author really doesn't need the sell through numbers if his writing is of this quality.

Buy, Paperback, Used

Really middle of the road stuff, you might read it twice, if you're terminally bored.

Go to the Library

Get a more entertaining book, like a frame by frame high speed video camera rendition of a glacier advancing. Alternatively, try watching paint dry.

Steal from Library and Burn to Protect Others

You should actively destroy copies of this book, I mean really, what was the author thinking?

Inspirational

Hell, I write better than this! If this joker can get this crap published, then getting my stuff published should be easy.
