I've walked by it at my library about a million times and have always wondered whether it was any good or not, but now that I know Andrews does "a bang-up job," I won't walk by it again without picking it up. The topic, like Gerchunoff's book on the Jewish gauchos which I'd also like to read someday, would seem to be a can't miss proposition as far as local/regional history goes.

Speaking of which, I loved your comment about "artist's angst," by the way.
