SUMMARY- This was a really fun and informative read. He does a lot of name dropping - and gives you character and background on these linchpins of the industry that you probably don't know. You get a feel for the history of the hobby, and an understanding on the obsessions that get built around it. If you are interested in this hobby, I highly recommend this book.
