I think that Woody's answer to Gunners' question was great. The books Gunners refers to are primarly written for undergraduate/graduate students and, to a lesser degree, professionals in the field. They are not generally intended for the lay person. Students and professionals can generally find thoughtful reviews in the professional literature. Assuming an "intelligent lay person" wants to purchase one of these books, they can do a little research on the web or contact a professional to find out which book(s) they may want to purchase. I don't know what you mean by saying they "may well choose the wrong book to buy". I don't think there are any "wrong books", only different approaches and different styles of presenting much the same thing. By the way, what is the best selling Amazon book on stuttering?
