It is always a pleasure to see dedicated and serious students of NLP put their talents to work. In this case, Joseph O'Connor and John Seymour have done an exquisite job in presenting fundamental NLP principles and tools in an easily accessible form. The book is written in an enjoyable conversational manner yet manages to preserve the richness and sophistication of the material it is portraying—thus satisfying Albert Einstein's famous dictum, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler”.
More importantly, this book provides an up-to-date introduction and overview of NLP, incorporating the latest developments in the field as well as reviewing the most important NLP basics. Congratulations to two people who are helping lay the groundwork for NLP in the next decade!
