----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I see no problem with what Cheryl did. She saw Kershaw's book, she liked it, and she shared this with others. In fact, it was I who suggested that she should broaden the audience by sharing it with not only carta subscribers but also those on maps-l. We all realize that it is her own opinion and not necessarily that of others; but isn't that what a review is?
