"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."

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
