- Erm. I suppose so; but, I guess, the thing is that Kit Summers doesn't
- go on about how good at teaching you his book is, whereas Dave Finnigan
- does. And whilst I suspect that Finnigan may well be excellent at
- teaching people in person, The Complete Juggler smacks of being simply
- him transcribing his method for teaching to a book -- and it just
- doesn't work. Summers' does, at least, give the impression of having
- been written to learn from as a book, rather than as a method of
- teaching. If you see what I mean.
