Minutes of fun! Hours?
Not a review but, rather a comment on pagination for those logging their books into LibraryThing dot com.
The first numbered page is page #7. if you then flip forward, in order to reach page one you have to count the front cover. So, I have applied the same logic to the rear of the book. Hence my pagination might look a bit odd. I am just playing by their rules.
