I apologize for the syntax mistakes I made. I totally understand you receive tons of proposals from people who don’t bother to learn JavaScript. I understand that this pissed you off and I am sorry for that. My bad.

Here is the valid syntax:

```js
let book = new Map([['author', Map([['name', 'John'], ['surname', 'Doe']]), ['birthdate', '10-10-1990']]);
let book2 = new Map([['birthdate', '10-10-1990'], ['author', Map([['name', 'John'], ['surname', 'Doe']])]]);
```

Now, I wish to extract `birthdate` and `name`. I can't rely on the order of elements, because the code should accept any `book` that has same shape. Let's say, ordering of the items in the map is not the part of the contract. So, to clarify this, I want to write function that accepts `book` or `book2` and inside, it extracts `birthdate` and `name`. The code should work with both `book` and `book2`.

I feel, that your solution is unable to achieve this, but I can be mistaken.

Thanks!

Samuel
