Review by Jim Wilson pawpawsforge.com

Me and my big mouth! For years I've lived by the philosophy of "NEVER VOLUNTEER"! Then in a moment of weakness I open my mouth and before I can say "I didn't mean it!" Bert accepts!

For better or worse, this is the start of a book review column. In keeping with the blacksmith tradition, instead of stars I'll award rings of the anvil. If a book is REALLY great, it might earn 4 ringie-dingie's (4r-d). If it's really lousy, it's be more likely to earn 1 thud! (1t)
