It suggests even the Germans like the book.Catrionanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-17432680106843931572011-10-25T01:02:48.423+01:002011-10-25T01:02:48.423+01:00O, heavens, you must know better than that!

With posts like this, it's abundantly clear that you're shining a light on discoveries you've made for the sole reason that you enjoy them and hope others might, too. I've found a lot to enjoy as a result.Susan Scheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250142489341777926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-76506652072047224862011-10-24T23:09:40.774+01:002011-10-24T23:09:40.774+01:00Oh dear, Sue, you make me feel as if I'm pimpi...Oh dear, Sue, you make me feel as if I'm pimping all sorts of material goods. But it's all to the greater glory of Art, honest. <br /><br />In a way it's a pity the book as book doesn't have lovely illustrations to back up what he's talking about, but just having the writing makes the imagination work a little harder - and, as I pointed out with Vrancx, the reality can be a little disappointing.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-52010604627969218142011-10-24T22:25:38.290+01:002011-10-24T22:25:38.290+01:00OK, that's it.

Just cued Germania up on the Kindle (I'd rather have the book book, and knowing me, this will be a false economy, as I'll read it and then want to buy the book as book).
