History books interest me more when I recognize many of the places and names -- in this book I even spotted a Facebook friend in one of the photos!

I managed to ignore several proofreading errors, but I was a bit disappointed when I got to the few pages that cover my years at Grove City College and discovered some factual errors. (The changes to the humanities core curriculum affected one more course than reported and took place at least a year earlier, and the process of completely demolishing a building and rebuilding a completely new one on the site was described as a "renovation.") Those errors made me question the veracity of the rest of the book.
