Rating:  Summary: WHO WANTS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH PROUST ANYHOW? Review: S.L. Taylor's review of this book was most helpful, however: 1.) Remember, it doesn't necessarily have to be big to satisfy! 2.) Emile Zola's prose was only turgid after he had been drinking. the rest of the time he didn't say enough to make any sense to a reader what-so-ever. 3.) Who wants to be associated with Proust anyway? Nobody named "Marcel" could have written a book like this in the 1st place. 4.) Christopher Hitchen's talks funny, but I like his hair.5.) There are worst hobbies than dead postmasters general you know, like bowling, air guitar, goal tending, & marrying cops! I find the book a fascinating addition to the library of obscure FDR related bits of trivia.

Rating:  Summary: Linn's Book on Stamps of the Roosevelt Era is a Must-Have Review: There are 5 reasons that no stamp collector who is interested in stamps of the FDR era should be without this book. 1.) It is not as big as A la Recherche du Temps Perdue. 2.) Brian C.Baur's prose is not as turgid as that of Emile Zola. 3.) Much like Proust and Zola nobody knows who Brian C. Baur is either. 4.)Mr. Baur does not use as many big words as Christopher Hitchens. 5.)This book contains important historical information not found anywhere else.(e.g The names of Postmasters who have been dead for more than half a century.)
