This book was a thorougly enjoyable read, I literally could not put it down. Earl Lee argues forcefully and convincingly, the essays are mostly very intellectually satisfying. The only thing that prevents me from giving the book 5 stars is Lee's tendency to slide into humorous anecdote a little TOO much, causing some of the later essays to lose their focus and effectiveness. I wish Mr. Lee would eventually go into Library Science education...I'd LOVE to take a class from him! (I'm going to start working on my MLS in the Fall of 2001, at the University of North Texas)...Would that we had more librarians in this country like him, too.

This book is by the author of _Drakulya_, a novel retelling of Bram Stoker's _Dracula_.
