Why the hate for consultants who write books? If they dont provide value in the material then sure, that sucks, but if it is worthwhile information why should I care if they use it to help get consulting clients? Shouldnt I be happy that consulting allows people with valuable things to say to publish it for a price I can afford?

No hate for consultants from me. The opposite, actually: http://blog.jayfields.com/2012/05/single-best-thing-for-my-c...

Consultants should write books, but I believe we'd all benefit if non-consultants wrote books as well.
