I'm a bit scared and skeptical. The page looks extremely amateurish (Even in the source code, div class="one", div class="two", class="three", wtf?!)

Also, nothing about Jashkenas. Did the authors thought about asking Jash what he thought about it?

From the chapter excerpt, it shows how to include view into views.. which is already clearly explained in the todo example from the main backbone page. I mean, I've used backbone a few time, but don't consider myself an advanced or expert with backbone.js, and I've learned nothing from these excerpt chapters.

It seems more like an amateurish marketing splash page looking to test interested readers.

But then.. maybe the authors are really backbone.js experts and just not designers, and didn't one to spend money or ask a friend to design it for them (but why doing that if you're trying to sell something?!). And maybe I've just read an excerpt that I knew all about. And maybe Jash said something in the intro of the book?
