Check it out mate, misc.books.technical is about technical problems with
books, finding books, etc. Not for book reviews (altough it may have turned
into that).

Also, I am sure many computer security professionals will not bother to
subscribe to misc.books.technical, due to the sheer number of useless
messages they would receive. Robert Slade by posting in the alt.computer
security newsgroup (and alt.comp.virus, and comp.security.misc) is informing
the target audiences of the value of the book, the people that actually care
about the information, without seriously inconveniencing them by posting in
another forum just because a noob thinks it is better.

That is why he posted it here, and why I think you are very much in the
minority in calling it SPAM for being posted in this and the other two
forums.
