Conclusion: Compelling reading
Review: This book is both informative and entertaining.
The sheer amount of research and effort that Dave Pelz has put into the project gives tremendous credibility to his findings.
One disappointment is that I am yet to find anyone who is prepared to build the teaching/training aids that I believe are essential if the reader is to get the most out of the book. Notwithstanding this I believe the book is well worth the investment.
The only other criticism I have relates to the percentage of space devoted to what I would call the mechanics of making consistent contact as compared to how to read greens. I would have liked more information on reading the slope, pace and level of greens.
I have no hesitation in recommending the book to golfers who believe their putting can do with a helping hand.

Conclusion: Scientific approach to putting
Review: I remember buying this book over a decade ago. It is a truly amazing book.
Putting is simple in concept. (On the putting green, use putter to hit ball into hole. Repeat on next golf hole until round is done). The author's main mechanical points could probably be made into a one page "recipe" sheet as one reviewer seemed to suggest. What makes this book amazing is that it established a scienitific basis for putting improvement. This book arms the reader with fundamental putting principles in the same way that a good cookbook provides background rather than just a list of recipes. This book is more than just about the how. It is about the why.
The author's newer putting book may supercede this book, but that does not take away from this book's historical importance.
Evaluation: 
Conclusion: Too much scientific approach
Review: I was quite dissapointing by this book as it contains lot of pages but only a few important messages. If Mr Pelz would put these on one A4 sheet, it would be more appropriate. If you look for organised and clear putting teaching book, do not buy this book!
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Very good, but obsolete
Review: This is a very good book, but we must leave room at the top for better books (by Dave Pelz, of course :-) Since his "Putting Bible" came out, there is no longer any need for this book. "The Bible" has everything this book has and then some. If you are looking for a used book in paperback to save a lot of money off the hardcover bible, then this represents an excellent value, since the basic ideas are here.Note - this is not for those looking for a few tips, band-aids, or just some feel-good words to make you feel better about yourself. This is serious game-improvement stuff. If you just want to daydream about being a better putter, get a putting book by one of the other guys. If you REALLY want to be a better putter, get this and get to work!
