John;

I was told once that you can tell the quality of a person by the
quality of those he associates with. I am now very suspect of Dr.
Diamandis.

Oh, I don't know. This is probably a match made in heaven for Dr. Diamandis.
He wants uncritical, fawning coverage of his activities, and he gets it with
probably no more than a kind word and a hint that Zoom will get a free ride into
space (eventually). It ain't journalism, but that last thing Dr. Diamandis
probably WANTS is a journalist.

As for the number of books, I can think of about six or seven, depending on how
many editions there were of the Sportplane guide. Then again, maybe he's taking
credit for books like this, too:
