# Another glowing review of Hacking RSS and Atom

Hey, look!  It's another glowing review of my book, this time from [Thomas Duff's "Duffbert's Random Musings"](http://hostit1.connectria.com/twduff/home.nsf/plinks/TDUF-6GJTYJ):

<blockquote>Excellent idea and application book...  If you're interested in going beyond simple feed readers and building stuff for yourself, this is a definite purchase you want to check out...</blockquote>

Thanks Thomas!  It's really cool to start seeing feedback on this thing, and it's interesting when comments match up with thing about which I had a few concerns when writing the book—such as doing all the code in Python versus, say, PHP.

            <div class="content"><p>I was browsing through my local Barnes &amp; Noble in downtown Seattle when I ran across this book and thought, 'it's about time.' And then, 'hmm, I knew a Les Orchard when he was at Magnet Detroit.' Sure enough it was you.</p>

<p>Great book, well written. The scope of the content is perfect. Take care.</p>
