I am curious if anyone has seen and can comment on Jeff's new book on
the subject that brings many of us together on this
site?
I do have a copy. I would comment differently for those who
know, and those who don't know, the subject already. It is pretty pedestrian
if you already know the subject, no surprises (nor should there be -- it is
aimed at those who need to learn the basics). I always enjoy seeing additional
photos, and Jeff was able to draw on Kalmbach's unsurpassed photo resources,
so for me, it was worth picking up. And for anyone who feels unsure about
how well they know the topic, I would certainly recommend it. Well
written, not too long or pedantic, and very nicely reproduced
photos.
