This book is $70 bucks for a book the size of one of those "Little book that..." books. Good thing it was at the library.

I found this way to high level and general to be of much use. It's more like guidelines, than a full guide. Kaufman is supposed to be "the man" for automated trading system design so hopefully his larger book will be better.
