Great review. I was particularly struck with the second to the last
paragraph of Kurt Ament's review:

"What I like most about "Single Sourcing" is that Ament went straight for
the meat of the issues. He doesn't belabor points or confuse the reader by
jumping back and forth from subject to subject (as so many poorly written
IT-related books do). Instead, he supplies us with a book you can read in an
afternoon and use the information contained within the next day at work."

In there is what I believe to be our charter: know your subject AND how to
present it.


Cheers,
Debbie
