Of course, I want Kerry to show what "proven falsehoods" there are in the book.

As, he has YET to be able to prove ANY...

Swift boat, the sequel***WASHINGTON (CNN) -- It's the silly season of summer sequels. If you liked the original, you'll love "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth 2," the new TV ad released this morning that responds to enemy fire the anti-Kerry group has drawn this week.***

Perhaps Kerry should pull his own autobiography, "Tour of Duty". He lied about his activites/observations while serving on the USS Gridley. This site contains some interesting comments that set the record straight. MUST READ!
The Kerry Page

When I read “Tour of Duty”, I became concerned because the material on Kerry’s time on GRIDLEY appeared in many instances to be exaggerations and in some cases figments of an overactive imagination.

...

4. Later on page 87 Kerry talks about Olongapo in the Philippines. He talks about bloated corpses floating in the river and starving women with babies dying of malnutrition. Now Olongapo was a wild and wooly town that existed solely for the entertainment of the US Navy, but in over three years of calling there, I never saw a single instance of either thing happening. Kerry uncovered this in his first visit. If this was from his letters home then he was certainly writing for dramatic effect. Balderdash.

Well, sure he did. He said that Bush put the swift boat bets up to writing a book so that he could beat Kerry. So obviously, that makes the book full of falsehoods. < /RAT logic >

If there are any Kerry quotes in the book then I agree that there are "proven falsehoods" contained therein.

Contrast the response that President Bush has given Fahrenheit 9/11, the antiBush book that came out during the 2000 election, and other assorted attacks. John Kerry will crack under the pressure (and crack down on dissenters) if he is elected President.

That's what makes me laugh. Saying it is meaningless. Showing us before demanding banning a book is only common sense.
I am waiting breathlessly, but they don't seem to be incensed enough to provide refutation with facts, not opinion.
