By reasons lost in history I recently received a free copy of the book Best Kept Secrets of Peer Code Review. At just 160 pages it is an easy read, and since it is free (including free shipping overseas) it is well worth the effort. It presents a lot of obvious facts about code reviews, but also some new rather surprising new research on this issue. The authors works for a company selling a product supporting code reviews, and the last 20 or so pages describes this tool. Sure, it is obvious they hope readers will buy their tool, but their pitch isn't annoying. Actually, the price of their product could be rather reasonable if it is stable and performs well. Of which I know nothing, of course.
