I agree - what I was trying to get him to get at was
if you tried 2.1 how bad was the damage, and if not,
was the book written late enough to know about the
final decisions for 2.0.3 release (as at least one
book unfortunately didn't if I'm not mistaken).

As one of the authors of the Sybex book, let me say that
due to the pure mechanics of book publishing we had to
stick to the 2.0.2 - 2.0.3 versions.
Trying to be up to date with 2.1 would have been futile
and frustrating to our readers.

1) which version of cocoon is the book relevant to?
2.0.3 release? any 2.1 dev and if so how outdated is
it?
Of the major topics of the book, how many are now in
the process of being deprecated?
2) where is the book focused? static xml files?
database?
3) Are any topics covered from an advanced
perspective?
4) Of the competing concepts in cocoon, which does it
advocate? esql vs. sql transformer for example
