Hi All:

As I mentioned previously, we are wanting to get a number of short reviews
(one or two paragraphs) from those of you who have the Field Guide and
have read it. This is a special book and Richard is a special person to
all of us. And, he has been the author of Centerpiece for 10 years!

Our deadline for the next issue is August 17.

Thanks in advance.

Larry
