The book advises a slow, gradual, light, top down approach to learning the ins and outs of Oly WL, so getting to the actual good part of doing the lifts is something that might take some weeks or months to achieve, but the wait is well worth it if you want to do things correctly.
While that seems to be the method of many traditional coaches, including Jim Schultz (sp?) many are saying to does not need to take so long. This list includes Dan John, Mike Burgener and my coach John Coffee. Just another opinion and not a put down to the book. I started with Schultz's program myself.

I have heard that DJ's DVD is very good. I could send you Schmitz's DVD's if you want to check them out.

I continue to make the kettlebell versions of the oly lifts my staple, using kettlebells purely for convenience. My last session with the weights was: clean and press, snatch, and front squats. So in a manner of speaking, yes. That said, I never was any good at the full squat style. I do consider it the best way to train for grappling strength, but that is just my opinion.
Have I ever competed in the sport of weightlifting? No.
