Note Stan, I was quoting Bob himself when I said he often called it 'complete crap'. Note later where I said I think it's 'very good and I love it' (3rd line from the bottom of my post) because it is and I do.
As for the concepts, depth and how to use it, I'm just relaying how it was taught to me over many many very long private lessons.

I did say that I understood where you were coming from G on it and Bob can certainly change his mind in a split second on anything this book being no exception to the rule understood.
Last time I saw him when he stayed at my house he just talked about some new concepts and ideas related to harmonic coordination he was working on and no mention of the book came up during that time.
We each take or make what we want from either this book or the personal passed on wisdom from the man himself to the music. Glad to hear G your time with him was also well spent.
