Glad I read this before the reviews or I might not have picked it up! I found this to be a facinating book about a subject I never gave any thought to. The copy I read I got thru Bookcrossing.com, and most likely if it had not been a free book to me I might have passed thinking it would be dry and boring. This was not the case for me...I was intrigued by the history and people mentioned within. The idea of how long people devoted to the study of this was amazing and interesting. I felt it was well written, not too dry and not too much personal slant on it.
