He Needs to Hire an Editor:

I read the reviews here and then bought it anyway. At least my expectations were adjusted before I started reading it.
I found about 2/3 of the chapters to be pretty interesting. The other third (word formatting, self publishing, etc.) seemed outside the scope of this document.

I did learn that pressing Alt+T would display the time, but not much else. However, I only paid 99 cents, and this is one instance where you get only what you pay for--which is a little for a low price.
