Reply to:   Book Review list (2)

Dear LACTNETters,

Your enthusiasm in responding to my request for book reviewers has emboldened
me to offer a second list of books I recently received for review. Following
is a list. As previously, let me know which one you would be interested in
reviewing and what is your education (in the case of a technical book) and
experience (in the case of a lay book) related with the book of interest. Do
not hesitate to call (evening only, Mountain Time Zone: 801-969-7391) or
e-mail if you have questions. Now that I have recovered from two major
deadlines, I will respond within 24 hours.
