Re: [BKARTS] Announcing Lapis & Gold

["Jack C. Thompson" <tcl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had a look at this website, and the introductory paragraphs are
sweet, but not very informative.

The information they claim to provide has been available for decades
from many other sources.  It ain't 'groundbreaking'.

If they gave a price for their book it would be good.  For a few dollars
it would be nice to have this collected information available; for a lot
of dollars, it ain't worth the price.

Just my opinion.
