I feel that that is what help build Piers Anthony such a loyal following. I may have actually read his author notes in the back before I started one or two of his books. That would be years back in the early part of the Xanth series. It does make it personal.George Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087751257299406594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826295427613956165.post-51803384249929850752011-07-21T17:00:43.698-07:002011-07-21T17:00:43.698-07:00My review will go up Monday, most likely.

Lapidaries and gemologists are an ...Thanks George.<br /><br />Lapidaries and gemologists are an excellent example of the kind of audience that can be helped by "Shift Happens".<br /><br />There is an enormous amount of knowledge in the community to be shared with other members. Ebooks provide a way to get it out cheaply and fairly easily.<br /><br />This is especially important with lapidaries and faceters because so many of them are older and not going to be with us forever. If you attend a rock club meeting you'll usually find almost everyone is over 50 and some of the really skilled members are up in their 80s and 90s.<br /><br />ebooks are a way to save that knowledge and pass it on to others.Rick Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747635851131498736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826295427613956165.post-69056120933186988562011-07-19T18:27:46.252-07:002011-07-19T18:27:46.252-07:00I passed it on over at the GemologyOnline forum. ...I passed it on over at the GemologyOnline forum. We have a collection of gemologist, faceters, and writers (of gemology) over there. It is setup for download to my Kindle. :)George Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087751257299406594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826295427613956165.post-68297226334811015122011-07-19T16:06:30.828-07:002011-07-19T16:06:30.828-07:00She did indeed.
