Mostly because I know I'm mentioned in one of the CIGT books.

Haven't read any of the CIGT books but I can't stand how the Dummies books are written. There is way too much folksy conversational crap you have to wade through to get to anything resembling real instruction. The couple I tried to use could be boiled down to 20 page pamphlets for all the "real" content they held.

If I'm going to be insulted for reading a book, I think I'd prefer to be called a "Dummy" rather than a "Complete idiot."

I like the For Dummies books. The "folksy conversational crap" (as one of your commentors put it) can be quite helpful for me. If I didn't need a For Dummies book I wouldn't need a For Dummies book, if you know what I mean. ;-)

I've had a Complete Idiots book before and liked it, but tend to get more good "getting started" info out of the FD books.
