For those that quetion Leerhsen's work. Do you really think SABR is sacrificing "accuracy" (along with the research) simply for a "fresh perspective" or "clear, graceful prose"?
For those who have more experience. Could any of you provide a short list of quality Cobb biographies? I am about to purchase the Leerhsen book and would like to cross reference it with some others.
