A rebuttal from the author.

As one of the authors of this book (and of two other books as well), until now I've never once replied to a customer review, no matter how badly I wanted to. But the negative review from "A Reader" in "an undisclosed location" contains such an inflammatory accusation that I felt that I had to reply. Not one sentence of the Book of SAX has been copied or plagarized from any source. We did _not_ include a "VERBATIM REPRINT OF THE SAX API DOCUMENTATION". If the author of this review had bothered to read the documentation, he would have seen that. And he would have also seen that we wrote original sample code to document every method and attribute of the org.xml.sax and org.xml.sax.helpers packages. If you find the tutorial "lackluster", that's fine. That's your opinion. But do not expect to make serious accusations against our integrity and belittle our efforts and get away with it.

BTW, I rated this book with 3 stars. Unfortunately I had to pick something, or I would have abstained.
