Recenzii

A mighty work of reference
Whitaker'sis the place for things that everybody needs but nobody publishes - nobody else
Settler of argument, provider of spurious historical parallels, goad to the weary hack's mind...I become so engrossed I forget what I was trying to look up in the first place
A source of delight as well as a gold-mine of information
