Subject: Book of unreleased exploits?

Coworker of mine took a class taught by one of the authors of this book:

http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0764544683.html

Coworker is telling me this is some sort of compendium of unreleased
exploits. Figuring that the average exploit would take up about 5 pages
of printed text, and the book at 650 pages, that would lead me to infer
that it has somehwere around 130 new exploits. WTF? What is the point of
this other than to force people to buy exploits? Im speculating that this
is mostly going to be lame XSS bugs and rewrites of existing exploits.
Anyone know for sure? I've never heard of any of these guys, but one of
these jokers has to be on this mailing list.
