At Home He's a Tourist

He fills his head with culture/ He gives himself an ulcer.

The April edition of Choice came out recently. When I find a favorable review of a book that looks appropriate for our library, I try to find other reviews (Jn. 8:17). It's a problem though when the reviews are contradictory, particularly when they disagree on exactly the same aspects of the book. For instance, Choice says of an introductory art book that the presentation is "beautiful," Library Journal says "the reproductions are not crisp." Choice praises its "unique arrangement," LJ says "the most damning feature is the jumble of essays and timelines."
