Re: The great chess book con game
A lot of these books are a con. For example, the book of bluffs by Matt Lessinger is a deeply flawed book that promised to make a unique contribution to a general theory of reading hands, adjusting to players style, playing draws, and making stone bluffs in games of all types and sizes.
In fact, the book shared some very well known bluff moves with the reader, and then goes on to teach indiscriminate and preposterous levels of aggression that are clearly derived from either tournament situations of hands against weak/tight players that have no clue what you are up to.
