[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2221280, member: 41863"]Just from what I know in the Seated Series, he wishes to use the people's work who have put in the hours on the series, and the years studying to find the knowledge that they have. Why should they just give it to Kevin and let him profit off it? Especially when he is known to give you little credit and it be full of errors and flat out wrong information? Maybe if he wanted to truly write good books he would study up on it, befriend the industry leaders in those series instead of undermining them and attempting to use their work for his financial gain.

I agree that maybe he has gathered some useful information and put into one spot, but very little of the research has been done by himself, hes just piggy-backing off of other folks. Besides, the 'RedBook' series now covers almost every series if you are looking for general information, and the new Deluxe Addition is quite thorough itself.
