 Not up to date October 10, 2007

This book was back ordered so I assumed it was a new version. Not So. Some of the information in this book is good. It was published in 2002. A great deal has changed in the last 5 years, in the world of Celiac Disease. I saw no reference dates in the book later than 2001. Many of the websites listed no longer exist: the URLs were incorrect or outdated. For Example: the Gluten Intolerance Group is no longer in Seattle, WA, It is in Auburn, WA. I was anxiously awaiting this book but I have returned it and am waiting for a real "Revised and Updated" version, not another publishing run of a 2002 book.
