Welcome, Sietch, glad to have you here.
"... in Schiller's terrible book..." It has been a long time since I read it, but don't recall it being terrible. What is it that makes you think it is terrible?
Howdy.
Personally, Schiller grossly violated our agreement on conditions for our interview. We agreed on a pseudonym (I still worked for the paper) and he promised not to include any identifying details. Well, he completely blew off the second part of that, making it obvious who I was. He also presented the information I shared with him in a way that made what I said seem more certain and biased than it was.
On the whole, virtually everybody he came into contact with in Boulder found him to be a brash, careless reporter who got many, many things wrong in the book. It's been years since I looked at it, also, so I can't be more specific. Suffice it to say he left a very bad taste in the community's mouth.
I learned later that was basically his M.O.
He wrote and published the book to cash in, but I would not rely on it for accuracy.
