Absolutely ...

These are my first impressions (with only about 30 minutes of
leafing thru various sections):

* Diagrams and Captions do not match in many places.
* Language coverage is shallow and hardly any discussion on game design.
* Don't know about "How to do this in language X" but doesn't seem to be
strong in that area.

I haven't looked at the CD that came with it yet. Not overly impressed.
