A Great new book about Concealed carry

As some of you know I have a good sized library of firearms training which I read regularly. Yesterday, I got a new book that I consider to be one of the best that I have ever read. The book is:

Jim,

Can you provide a little more review of this book? I found that after a while most handgun related training books repeat the same or similar material. This is based on having read Gun Digest of Book Combat Handgunnery by Ayoob, Armed Response and Handgun Combatives by Spaulding.

A little more review for Andy

I must say that I like one one your book selections very much. I know Dave Spaulding and he is a great guy. The Murphy book is 102 pages, printed on 8.5" x 11" paper. The book has a lot of very detailed photos with enough text to explain each thoroughly.
I do not have the book in front of me as I write this. My first impression was that the techniques are very up to date, but not out on the cutting edge. The presentation is well done and appears to follow the kind of range discussion that i would expect from a trainer at his level.

Bill Murphy comes across as a low key sort of guy with nothing to prove.
It is clear that this book was not an ego trip for him.

The only down ticks that i can think of are a few typos and 3 or 4 pages devoted to California CCW issues and law.
