Well, this thread has certainly become interesting...
Let me state for the record that I'm interested in seeing any new books on Shaolin, even independant/vanity publications. I look forward to seeing this book and I'm even looking more forward to seeing the book I mentioned back on page 2 by Andy James - mostly because it's Wisdom Publications and that's a publisher of some repute. Despite the odd subtitle "Buddhism, Daoism, and the Energetic Arts" I'll still look at it when a copy crosses my path.
There's a lot of mythology about Shaolin, even our founder, Bodhidharma is myth, but that doesn't make it any less interesting or potentially valuable.
Of course, I enjoyed some of the more silly Shaolin books like Carradine's Spirit of Shaolin, so you have to take what I say with that in mind...
