I've dealt with this guy's "books" before. They are complete garbage, very much like the "text vomit spam" someone mentioned above. It is horrendous that Amazon sells this junk as though they were actually authored books. The volume I'm most familiar with is sold on Amazon for $34.95: "The Official Parent's Sourcebook on Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Revised and Updated Directory for the Internet Age [Paperback]." http://www.amazon.com/Official-Parents-Sourcebook-Childhood-Rhabdomyosarcoma/dp/0597834490/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1286469830&sr=8-5
To make medical titles seem more legitimate, he uses his brother, who is an M.D., as his "co-author" on the large series of childhood cancer titles. Parents of kids with cancer are desperate for good information on their child's illness, and this markets itself directly to parents. I work for a small non-profit serving families of children with cancer and we keep a library of good books for lay people on childhood cancers. In 2003 I ordered the one above since it pertains to my son's cancer and I thought I could use it to assess the potential value of all of them. You can see the review I left on Amazon.com at that time, but suffice to say it was a worthless pile of meaningless web links, many of which were about a completely different form of pediatric cancer.

This guy isn't a success, he's a total creep.
