From Library Journal

Quinn (The Handicapper's Condition Book) has written an ambiguous, convoluted, and wordy text. The first five chapters are overblown rhetoric. The last four finally get to his system, the "Competitive Quality Scale." The whole book could have been distilled into a magazine article. As it is, wading through the preliminary excesses will bore most readers. Although the system looks good and is touted as an easy-to-use numerical rating system for players at every level, it is wrapped in academic doublespeak that renders it impossible to understand. Not recommended.Susan Hamburger, Florida State Univ. Lib., Tallahassee
