[Book] New book

[asteckley]

I disagree with your characterization of this work as "amateurish and ill-informed".  

I may indeed be wrong saying "amateurish and ill-informed". I haven't read the whole book and I made the assessment only from his preface -- which I did find poor enough to question the value of purchasing the book. 

I don't care about the use of proper terminology, this is not an issue since the physical makeup of the VM and its contents are not the subject of the book.
...
The real problem, for me, is the absence of critical thinking. There is only the forgery by "Wilfred" Voynich narrative, no examination of evidence for/against it. It feels one-sided, biased and unfinished. I don't expect neutrality, I just want to understand why such a definitive statement is made.

That sums up the real problem for me too.  I felt that based just on the short preface as well as from SantaColoma's assessment. It seems your reading of the book further confirms it.
