Hammond states his assumption that most people will not read the book in its entirety. To this end, he points out sections of the book to read, based on the reader's interests. He tells the reader where to look for information on ease-based reasoning, planning, plan repair, comparisons between CBP and other techniques, learning, the CHEF program, and food. The book has a number of copy editing problems, including capitaiization, spelling, and miscellaneous typographical errors. One gets the impression that the entire copy - errors, typesetting and all - was lifted directly from Hammond's dissertation, introductions slapped on the front, and the whole thing printed as is. Despite these minor problems, this book provides a good introduction to the issues of case-based planning in general, and to the approach of one system. The "Guide to the reader" makes it especially useful for readers who are interested in specific topics. Overall, Hammond's book is an informative look at a new, growing area of planning.
