Well-written, clear and informed, they have a breezy wit about
them...I find them hard to stop reading.
*The New York Times*
Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise.
*The Wall Street Journal*
Each of these little books is witty and dramatic and creates a
sense of time, place, and character...I cannot think of a better
way to introduce oneself and one's friends to Western
civilization.
*The Boston Globe*
A godsend in this era of the short attention span.
