I have the books, I like them, but to be blunt I've not found them to be 
useful; the data is old, and basically a bunch of posited ideas and not 
backed up with very many 'I did X and it worked'.

As my friend Simon likes to say,

/The difference between theory and practice
is greater in practice than in theory/


'ought to' is a good starting point for experimentation, but it's not a 
substitute.
