"It
is perhaps a judge of excellence that I would pull down one
book from the shelves, read it again, and thoroughly enjoy
it once more? If so, then The Cultural Detective
by Christopher G. Moore (ISBN 978-616-90393-8-9, Heaven Lake
Press, 2011) is an excellent book. Not only a good book, but
for me, the best book reviewed in 2011." --Pattaya Mail.
