Quotable

2/20/2022

It's quite a thrill to be quoted as a professional authority...

Little Man, Little Man: A story of childhood, by James Baldwin (2018). Duke University Press Books.
Revived from being out of print for many years, this quotable on Amazon was all the more thrilling when included with the likes of reviewers LeVar Burton (childhood hero) and The New York Times.

Buddha: An Enlightened Life (2017). Steerforth Press | Campfire Graphic Novels.
​Click on Praise.

A Primary Source History of U. S. Independence (2015). Capstone Press.
Scroll to "Reviews and Awards."

Snakes (2014). Amicus Publishing.
​Click "Read Reviews." This is a series of books on snakes that my readers at Peninsula benefited from. The print and bound review copies were placed in our collection. They continue to be popular to this day--those that have survived years of enthusiastic handling.

Written by Libby Sternberg, this review is distinguished by the fact it was the first I wrote of my career. The original review has been lost to the archives of time, but a quote is available here: Bancroft Press

    As a Teacher Librarian I promote books with students, staff, and colleagues. A reviewer for School Library Connection since 2011, I enjoy writing about what I read.  Every book its reader and every reader their book.

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. ~Henry David Thoreau
