Looks pretty good but the price overwhelms me. I remember buying books
like that for $2.95....and today's 7-8 dollar novels for $0.35. As fer
history, I guess I really don't know much about it myself, and physics
makes me whiz, so I think I'll stick to what I know best: tic-tac-toe. I'm
unbeatable at tic-tac-toe.
