Review: The Role of the Scroll

ehy dear @kwilley, what a good review! must be an interesting world of scrolls !! I don't understand why you consider a negative side that The Role of the Scroll seems to be halfway between being a book for the laity and a book for historians ... so many more people can have access to it :-) ) are you a historian? or you do reviews for work 'or is it just a passion? congratulations on your curie rating and thanks for sharing

I'm not technically something like a professional historian, though I took a fair amount of history in college. My big gripe with the lack of focus on lay-history or a more academic approach is that it is accompanied by a rather short length; I felt like the book could have hit more specifics and complex details if it had been longer. As it stands, it felt like it spent a lot of time explaining the culture of the Middle Ages, and it did so quite well, but it spends so much time on it that one wonders if there was more that could have been discussed in a longer or more deep overview.

Mostly I write reviews just for fun. It's a way to keep myself accountable for reading and writing, but I was a semi-professional reviewer (the sort that gets free stuff but not a salary) for a while.

I understand, you seem to be missing something.
nice to make revisions by getting products in return: how do you do it?
