"Over the years many have looked down their noses at publications from Reinfeld, Chernev, Schiller and others but if we are completely honest then Reinfeld and Chernev have brought a huge amount to the chess buying public and many have found much benefit from their publications."
Sometimes things are best said by being left unsaid.

Reinfeld's reputation suffered because later on in his writing career he "did a Raymondo" and churned out potboilers to order.
Chernev, not so much - though he was never the most reliable when it came to historical stuff. Loved his anecdotes, did Irving
