[asa] Anybody familiar with Sanford's book?

An occasional creationist correspondent of mine?is bragging on this book:
Sanford, John C. (2005). Genetic Entropy & the Mystery of the Genome. Ivan Press.
Apparently the thesis is that the genome is deteriorating, accumulating bad mutations at a rate that means it could not be very many generations old, even had it been created perfect.

Anybody familiar with the book or the thesis in general?? Know of a good review by somebody who actually knows the science (blurbs for the book are from Behe and Johnson)?
The fact that the other thing my correspondent lifted up in the email was the RATE project does not inspire confidence in this book, but I should not assume guilt by association.
