In Response To: Grain of NaCl (Marty Storer)

Boot Camp and 501 make good companion volumes.

Agree. 501 (as many have said before this) is quite short on explanation, and often leaves out mention of some competing candidates. Walter's book is long on explanation but doesn't have nearly as many situations as ADV BG.

Two excellent books; I'm not arguing against that. But the loss of ADV BG completely would leave a void, IMO.
