[...]\n\nFact check: \"swiftly went out of print.\"  Published in 1994, out of\nprint in 2002.  Eight years.  Hardly swift.\n\nFact check: regarding name Kim Lee Soong \"is said to be Chinese, but\nclearly it is Korean.\"  True for first edition, false for second\nedition.  See page 202.\n\nIn the larger scheme, there is no comparison made between the first\nedition and the second edition.  This, along with the sloppy mistake\nregarding page 202, strongly suggests that the reviewer has not even\nseen the second edition, giving the sense that this review is a tired\nretread of a review for the first edition.\n[...]\nI'd like someone to tell him about his error\nregarding page 202, and ask him if he has really looked over the second\nedition.\n\n=Michael="
