<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1875960, member: 112&quot;]It is also important to be aware that many books, even those written by recognized authorities, have bad and or outdated information in them. If it&#039;s written in a book people tend to take it as factual. That all by itself can be and usually is a huge problem, for how does one tell good information from bad ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Simple answer you can&#039;t, unless you know more about the subject matter, or a particular portion of it, than the author does. Of course if you do, then why are you reading the book ? Simple answer to that too, so you can find out if there is anything in the book that you don&#039;t already know. And that brings us around to the OP&#039;s question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are there books out there are pointless ? Of course there are, but that depends on what you, the reader know, or don&#039;t know. So for you it might be pointless, but for me it might not be. But the only way to find out is to read the book.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have several books that only contain a few tidbits of information that I did not already know from reading other books. Sometimes it&#039;s a single sentence, a paragraph, a page, even a chapter that turn out to be important because that information was not found in any other books. But by reading the combination of all the books you end up having a better understanding and knowledge than you would if you had only read one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is why I always recommend that when you wish to study something, buy all the books you can find on the subject <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
