BTW. The book confirms the Bishop Castling rule as I've described before. 

The rule is actually called the 'Bishop Adjustment' rule.

In the true nature of Modern Chess, Maura believed the game was better to be played with both Bishops on the dark squares.

But he left the possibility open for players that couldn't let go (of having Bishops in opposite colors).
