Notes

1 image: Fair use with good rationale.
Good use of {{Inflation}}
I did some copyedits to clear up some of the language
I made all the 4-digit number consistent per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Delimiting (grouping of digits)
There is no critical reception. The article mentions that reviews of the book were done (ie. WSJ) but doesn't say what the reviewers wrote about it.
- The WSJ link does not actually contain the review. I don't have other online access to it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I have attempted to cobble together a critical review.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:13, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks great! --maclean (talk) 19:13, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
