This was the general feeling I got from the guy. I asked him to give me a specific example that was "wrong" in the book... I got
"I could spend a month making a list of a hundred things - I do not have time for that. We are booked solid with over 40 engine builds and rebuilds in progress and have a lead-time way over a year now. I am working on another book, and it will not try to compete with the excellent factory manual or Bruce Anderson's book but more be a part and part difference guide what you can use with what and what you cannot and why etc. - maybe I will include a chapter on the many, many things not to do and why. If you want to know how to do it right, ask any professional, not someone who writes a book on building his first engine - we keep learning after hundreds of engines rebuilds and builds, you learn every day and trust me, the "Porsche Witzbuch" is a joke that is misleading a ton of people - people think just because it is written or printed it is right - the quantity sold has nothing to do with it's quality."
I would love to get my hands on factory manuals, might be over kill but would be nice to have.
Thanks for confirming the feeling I got from this interaction.
