Hey, does anyone want to write a book review for the new Kingston book :?:
As I'm the editor of the local Finch Club, I thought it might be interesting to have it in there.
oh, and I'm sure BB213 would like a copy for her newsletter as well, if you volunteer! :D

I know, just maybe a page on the general gist, what you think, and some of the things it covers.

Thank you :D
If anyone, after they have read the book wants to write a review I would be happy to put it in the next available AFF newsletter, I email them on the 1st of each month.
Any reviews of books, magazines, dvd or video you want to make comments on, again Im happy to put in the newsletter.
