I will take your recommendations and try the others. I used to choose books by looking at the cover and the size of the book and then would read a few passages. I have to be more educated buying online I find and so take lots of recommendations on this forum pretty seriously.
there is a difference between 'ignorance' and 'being uninformed'. You were simply 'uninformed'.
