Errors in the planning worksheet 
Noticed a MAJOR ERROR in the worksheet from Ch 8. "How Much Money Will you Need When You Retire".
Step 1 starts with AFTER Tax Income, however
Step 2 SUBTRACTS the difference in taxes between working and retired.
Seems to me that TAXES are being neglected twice. This ended up being a $40,000 per year error between when I created a spreadsheet based on this 3 years ago, and what I see now! This is present in the 5th edition of the book -- not sure if this has changed since previous editions.

Good for retirement planning
Says you don't need a million, but makes it clear that it should would help. Not much help unless you plan to have your house paid off prior to retirement, seems to be a basis for a lot of the recommendations. For those of us who will not have the house paid off, and are now upsidedown due to the economy it means more years of work prior to retirement. Should be updated to be useful.

A Must Read for Anyone Who Plans to Retire Someday 
The authors take a very different approach from most retirement planning books. Rather than talk to financial planners, who emphasize the money angle and have never themselves retired, the authors talk to people who've retired and have made a go of it. What's the secret? When you think about it, it's pretty simple. Stay healthy. Have many friends, including younger friends. Make peace within your family and get to the point where you love and enjoy your adult children. Oh yes. Money. Money comes way down on... more info

WOW
I'm not a big reader but could barely put this book down. Most of the book is about the non-financial impacts in retirement, which seem to be overlooked by most people. I highly recommend.
