Joe Dante's "Stop That Slice"

[teach]

I just finished reading "Stop That Slice," and was very impressed with it. However, I recall that there was a book I haven't read called "Square To Square" that was written (in the 1970s perhaps, by Dick Ault or some similar name?) that has been bashed mercilessly. Just from the title of the latter book, I am assuming that the books would be similar.

Can anyone who is familiar with both books tell me why Dante's book generally is praised while the "Square To Square" book is strongly criticized? What are the differences between the two approaches?

Thank you.
