If he is, then he buys the 632 book. That's why I think it is disengenious to try to present the Starblazer book as an introduction book. (Note this says nothing about the quality of the game or about the way it is being promoted by the people behind it.)

Hmmm... this may be a clash between different interpretations of the use of 'introduction', then. One's first game, whatever the size, is an introduction; but so is a twenty page quickstart PDF. Besides, I think most people's introduction is playing rather than buying-and-reading an RPG, and the review seems to be about the "introduction to playing" aspect. Heh. Aspect. Hehheh.
