Here are some colorful suggestions from Moses Hadas (American teacher, classical scholar and translator) on how to respond when authors like me give you a copy of their most recent book for comment or review: “Thank you for sending me a copy of your book—I’ll waste no time in reading it. This book fills a much-needed gap. I have read your book and much like it.” Forewarned is forearmed! P.S. Please excuse the chaotic, irrational use of photos on my page; I simply don’t have the Facebook skills to make them behave!
