I dont see it as negative or as a slam, but if the OP is overwhelmed by the slights in the book as he stated in not so many words. A dvd companion would be a great way to not only read the slight but to see it done properly. The magicmakers dvd set is voted as best Bobo set on many threads of magic boards I frequent and since I own both it and the book, I have to agree. If you dont undestand a slight in the book, the dvd will probably be able to help fill in the blanks.
Other than that, I do disagree that lapping is essential to becoming an expert coin man. There are many who I would consider expert who do the majority of their coin magic at chest level and do little if any lapping. Lapping is a utility move just like sleeving or palming. Therefore intechangable in many if not most cases.
Some people learn better from books, some learn better from visual aids - dvd, vhs, being shown... but the best way is a good use of both if only for clairification on certain moves. And there are dvds out there that are not as well done as others therefore you must sometimes rely on the opinion of others to know which ones are better made.
