I was laughing because the site brags that the book's authors *won awards*
from the STC. STC awards have gotten considerable bashing on our list,
haven't they? But like many others who joke about the STC, I too am a
member.
I saw a previous edition of "Read Me First" and was suitably impressed. I'm
sure the new edition is a fine book. Didn't you see me smiling?
