Reviews

[Amberly · Rating 3 out of 5]

A slim, but helpful book. Appendix C is particularly nice. It includes truncated and superscripted names, although the list is short. The article at the end by Donald Lines Jacobus was an enjoyable read.

Informative and interesting but slightly oddly organized.
