American Queen

[Eva Elisabeth]

(I like the book cover btw.)

This may sound silly, but do you ever experience the feeling that you are going to enjoy a book from the moment you see it and touch it?

Just to add - this doesn't sound any bit silly, Laurie. That's how it usually works for me, and that's what I find so frustrating - not being able to thumb through all this history's literature, none of which is sold in German bookstores, for "inspiration". Amazon reviews have often failed and disappointed in this regard. And that's what I find so great about the forum. A book I bought upon forum members' recommendations has never turned out to be disappointing!!!
