NP but is anyone out there reading The English and their History or SPQR?

[Mark Kohut]

not me...but this is interesting tome.....SPQR is REALLY selling for
the 'specialized' book it is.
Yes, Ms. Beard is among the best........but neither she nor her
publisher seemed to think there was
a wave to catch, yet she did......
