Ratings are scanty on this book. Reason being, it was just published a couple of months ago. But the ratings that there are are great! Since high school which was . . . . well, never mind how long ago that was (ha) . . . . I have been familiar with American Heritage books, and thought that they were always very well done. I'm sure that this one will not be an exception.
I rarely see American Heritage ebooks marked down; it might be a long time before this one will be marked down again, if it ever is. You'd better grab it now.
