Man, I HOPE that's not true... I'd be PISSED if I spent $20 or so on it & found that to be the case...

S&P provided a lot of help for the book, but the book focuses on the how to, and not where to get your parts. We featured quite a few manufacturers and featured a bunch of builds, some of which were S&P, some were not. We have a Volvo and a BMW in there! We had to go with the best photography that illustrated the details of the swaps that is why you see a lot of S&P, they had really good photos, whereas many of the other people that offered up detail pics simply were not big enough pics to be used in a book, fine for the internet, but we needed large, hi-res stuff. The book is designed as a guide to general LS engine swaps for the masses, to give the first timer (and even some experienced swappers) help. We spent over a year working and researching the details of the book and worked really hard to make sure we covered all the bases. You should be able to sit down in the garage with an LS engine a car and this book and be able to make it happen. S&P has a lot of good stuff for swaps, as do many of the other manufacturers listed in the book. To say that this book is a big brochure for S&P is a bit unfair. You may be very experienced in LS engine swaps, to expect this book to offer a bunch of info you have not already learned is probably not going to happen, but take a serious look at it from the perspective of a beginner and I think you will find it is very informative.
