Really? Who? I have borrowed it from a friend, but so far I haven't turned a page in it, because what I have heard other people quote from it frankly sounds outdated.
To be fair, I have also heard that the static tables originate from that book, so proper credit is probably due. But if that is so, I have picked up the lessons second hand.
And, ahem, some of us dive with our eyes closed. I am no deep diver

but I like to close my eyes in the beginning of a dynamic and for as long as I can during a static. Make the most of the comfortable part of the dive. It will require all your attention soon enough...
