DO REAL DIPPERS READ REAL BOOKS ABOUT REAL DIP ANYMORE?

From Larry Peery (peery@ix.netcom.com):

We're looking for contributors for a new TDP feature. We need people who write books, read books, and like to write about books. The books can be about Diplomacy (the game) or diplomacy-related books that might be of interest to Dippers. Solo efforts, by writers or reviewers, are welcome and group efforts (e.g. multiple reviews of the same book) are equally welcome.

If you were (or are) a fan of Brian Lamb's long-running C-SPAN series, BOOKNOTES, then you should be writing for and reading this new and, hopefully, regular TDP series. If you've got a book you've written and want reviewed or a book you've read and want to review, drop me a line. The worst thing I can say, "I know you can do better. Write, or read, it again!" :-)
