Dear Asia, et al,
I sincerely hope that you do enjoy this book. When I wrote it, I wanted the information to be accessible and understandable. It is set up the way I teach my classes, which are to raw beginners. I feel that although I am in very learned company, a lot of 'big name' authors deal with the people who have vast backgrounds in the subject, and sometimes they just don't think about people who have 'no' clue at all. They cannot 'write down' (I don't mean that to be insulting, by the way) for the beginner. I don't mean 'talking down'~that would be insulting to most people, but they simply don't have a 'feel' for the clueless or the totally confused.
I tried to make sure I did not make any runaway blanket statements (DON'T do that! Do This!) and made sure that I made the points I felt were necessary. Everything (well, almost everything) in my book was presented to classes of real people who asked real questions and needed real answers. Stuff that didn't work was tossed out or reworked until it did work. Perhaps that is why so many people are enjoying 'It's All in the Cards' so much. I'm a real person, and I wrote this book for real people.
