Naturally, I’d really like everything to be 100% accurate, but if she was going to pick one fiber fact to be wrong about, this is the one I’d pick … since, you know, I’m not planning on writing a new Constitution any time soon, or anything!

Well, what is REALLY embarrassing is that the final versions of both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are on parchment, and Jefferson’s drafts were most probably not written on hemp paper either (see: http://wiki.monticello.org/mediawiki/index.php/Was_the_Declaration_written_on_hemp_paper). I’d forgive Judith for mixing up the documents (hey, it’s neither her history nor mine), but not for getting the fiber fact wrong!

Well, Abby, no one is perfect! What do you bet that nobody else notices? (Because, I’m kind of a history buff, too, and the Revolutionary period is one of my favorites.) At least you know I READ the book, and, well, I had to find SOMETHING “wrong” somewhere…

Omigod, is my face red. Why? Because I was the tech editor for the book... and I *am* a little bit of a US history buff, and I missed that one somehow, which surprises me, because I'm a big Jefferson fan. You can blame me for missing that one. Abby Franquemont´s last blog post..Dear Ed

Nice review! I’ve been meaning to give this one a look.

Incidentally, if I might make a small suggestion- It might be nice to include ISBN in your facts section.
