Keeping Axolotls book

I was on amazon, looking to see if they sold any books on Axolotls. And I came across this in the comments section for the book 'Keeping Axolotls'.

"The information contained within this book is far superior to the arrogant bile spouted on particular caudata forums, which have an unfortunate habit of bringing those with true and informed interest in the hobby into disrepute."

This is completely rediculous, I have found this forum to be a fountain of knowledge, with the amount of experienced Axolotl keepers, there is no book that could really beat the information you can get from some one with real experience. In the book, they even referred to them as "Reptiles" when they are clearly amphibians.

Has anyone here read this book, if so, what was your opinion on it? I haven't, but reading the few pages available on amazon, I was cautious of buying after reading some of the very obvious mistakes the author made.

I read that at the library...It is not a bad book has some information and not too much is wrong. but it is not worth buying

apparently they refer to axies as reptiles and advise to use gravel.

Not getting my £5 in afraid.

Tempted by : Axolotls: Care and Breeding in Capitivity Herpetology series: Amazon.co.uk: Peter W. Scott: Books

but £35 is too rich for my blood

£6 is HB though: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/0876669372/ref=ed_oe_h_olp

Trying to sell books. Obviously has an inferiority complex..... most likely by having been corrected by members of this forum.

And Amphibians in most cases make very poor reptiles. A couple of hours under the UVB Heat Lamp and they fail to thrive.

And Daz.... that care and feeding book is another in a series written circa late 90's. They are "bit" dated in most cases.
