The facts are a bit off, maybe they should spend more time on verification
of facts. I enjoy reading the books but I would prefer accurate quality
over sloppy quantity of titles. A simple example is that Grave Digger was
not "created by Dave Anderson" as the book states . However Grave Digger
was created by Dennis Anderson. That simple over site make me quoting these
as facts to friends worrisome. I hope the quality increases.
