It's a carefully-researched academic work, and very well written. I already have an enriched understanding of Colbert. I love the smiling portrait of Colbert on the cover. It calls to mind a story of Colbert dancing wildly at a daughter's wedding. He was a workaholic, but also a family man. As an aside, it's a beautiful book: a lovely design. You must be pleased. Sincerely, Sandra Gulland www.sandragulland.com Dear Jacob,

I’ve just started to read THE INFORMATION MASTER and I’m very impressed. It’s a carefully-researched academic work, and very well written. I already have an enriched understanding of Colbert.

As an aside, it’s a beautiful book: a lovely design. You must be pleased.
