I don't like to see posts that receive no responses. I read the review, thank you Susanwen. I'll pass on Harvey Sachs' tome : I have the feeling that it's already been done and (possibly) far better by others. Have you read it?

No, I'll probably read it soon, but I haven't yet. I just saw the review in the newspaper and passed it along.
