Re: Check the book early.

He would then, with a dung-eating grin, demand a Technical foul to start the game. (True Sportmanship!)

So I have made it a habit to check the book before the 10 minute mark - say 11-12 minutes, and to request corrections be made if the book is not complete before I am placed in a position requiring a T. It has worked well.
I agree. I usually go to the table right around the 12:00 minute mark.
