It is from an Article at the back of the January 2010 (Volume 74, No.10) edition of Chess. The first 7 pages contain fairly detailed reiews of writer Sean Marsh's favourite 6 books of 2009, with authors such as Karsten Mueller and some guy called Kasparov- rings a bell somewhere- and the article then finishes with:

"The books reiewed above are my favourites from 2009. Several others deserve honourable mentions, and they are: " 5 further books are listed; 'Isaac Kashdan, American Chess Grandmaster' by Peter P. Lahde, 'Chess Middlegames' by GM Ivan Sokolov, 'Counterattack!' by GM Zenon Franco and 'Dangerous Weapons: The Pirc and the Modern' by IM Richard Palliser, GM Colin McNabb & IM James Vigus.

Right in the middle of these (very good company you are keeping these days!) is the following pararaph:

The Moment Of Zuke
By David Rudel
A thought-provoking book on the Colle System. David
Rudel has certainly tried to do something different
from the norm and one gains the impression that the
material has been very carefully chosen to aid the
learning process.

Short but sweet and at the same time encapsulating one of the best aspects of the 2 Zuke books.
