Nikki -- sorry to wait so long to acknowledge this book. I just
finished it and more than share you positive account. This Paul Elie is
a super find. He doesn't pull any punches.
I hope to make it to the WP symposium this year and would really like to
set some time aside for us to have dinner and/or grab a drink.
Allbest wishes -- Dave Duty
