Two shortcomings leap to the eye:
a) some "basic" terminology is never explained; what are "selector" and "selectee" one is supposed to know to get other, more basic stuff, explained. Maybe that is included in the "Introduction to Syntax", meant to be taught in parallel or as a prerequisite. I did not read that, and this mitigates this particular quibble.
b) the end of the book seems to be written in a rush, accelerating and crumbling like an inscription on a wall running to an end. One may suppose that the theories described in the penultimate chapter are increasingly unimportant or non-influential, or aged, but I do not want to suppose that. The last chapter is obviously written in a train.
