Donated happily. Long-time book lover and am always looking for my next favorite read. Thank you for building this!

Where are these quotes pulled from? His autobiography? Something else?

>Of course, modern controllers exist that offer many more literal bells and whistles... Anyone have a favorite 'modern controller' for those of us who no longer have a PowerMate?

Someone turned me onto this podcast several months ago and, after a few episodes, my takeaway was they seem to be against every book they review. I couldn't find a single book they…
