Customer Review:
I've been a longtime fan of Sarah Vowell. Unfortunately, this isn't my favorite book of hers. What I really love about her other books is that I can pick them up, read a chapter or two, put it down and come back to it a couple of weeks or months later and read a little more.

Customer Review:
I've seen 3 of these second editions, and the quality of the reproductions is excellent. I mean, I'm not going to be giving my copy of this set to the Frick Collection with the rest of my estate, but they're certainly frame-able. Lovely to look at. Delightful to hold. | 3.5 / 5.0
