What a great work. It is THE reference book for all reference books--and so much fun to read also. I surely will look into Ms. Alleyn's other works.

I went back this morning and added the disclaimers that (1) you don't have to do ALL the questions, just a couple of them that appeal to you, and (2) you can review ANYONE'S books, not just mine. Someone had gotten the idea that I was trying to get more reviews just for myself, so I added a little edit up top. No matter what you do, you're going to upset somebody, so you do the best you can!<br />Shalannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978745207805622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836144186791045901.post-33329927880848693482013-09-12T03:08:13.890-07:002013-09-12T03:08:13.890-07:00Good stuff, Shalanna.
