Clerc's book on M&D just released by University Press of America should be 
good intro/primer for those studying the novel and are not so familiar with 
TRP's works.   Clear of jargon, it's a book to read within a day or so.  
Also includes extensive quotes from Mason's journal.  Gives overviews of the 
novel's reception, snippets of reviews, including our own Ruth S. and Dave 
F. (good show guys), general discussion of theme, structure, form, etc.
