Reviews/Thoughts on Camarillo's Guerilla Jiu-Jitsu

First off, I'm sorry if this topic has been posted before. I did a few searches and couldn't find a prior thread dedicated to it.

Anyway, for those who have read it (whether you practice judo or bjj), did you find Dave Camarillo's Guerilla Jiu-JItsu book useful? If so, what aspects? I have practiced judo for 8 years now and have been visiting a few bjj schools recently and am considering cross training if I can find a place that fights with me. I saw an ad for this book recently in a magazine and was wondering how many of you have used it at all or if it was even worth the money.

Depends,

I do not own the book, but i had a couple of good looks through it in the book store.

If i remember correctly there was a lot of good judo info, specifically a judo style throw that transitioned into various BJJ submissions...so there was a nice linking of the 2 different MAs.

What i actually did not like was all of the flying submissions. Not to say that the info was bad...
Flying submission just are not my thing, the info on them looked good though...
