Ratings and reviews

This book is by far a favorite. I've read it cover to cover and can not quite believe the dedication, research, and care that must have gone into creating such a comprehensive and complex book. I love the author's witty tone and attention to detail. I come back to this book again and again. Thank you for putting so much love and work into this marvelous book. I hope one day this will be available as an audio book!

So I did not buy it but why spend more than $1

It's good!
