I think Sobel's book is great....I have a hard
copy which has outstanding photos. Good over view; technically seems
good; lots of information. I've read it twice and it got me "hooked" on
this somewhat quixotic hobby/endeavor.

I know most board members are not fond of Dava Sobel's book, but one historical anecdote describing Powder of Sympathy was most amusing. You think anyone really, really employed this method, in earnest? Hard to believe, huh?
