"Over the past few months, publishers have sent me review copies of
books about the Y2K problem. Some are alarming, some are
comforting. Some are far too optimistic. I tried to evaluate each book
based on its own merits. Specifically, I was most interested in two
criteria: Number of pages and quality of paper.
"Thin books are good, because they will fit into any stove, fireplace or
oil can. Thicker books burn longer, and are more useful once you
already have a small fire going."
- Toronto Sun columnist Sandy McMurray,
in his Dec 29th article entitled
"Books can be fuel for more than thought"
