Personal Notes |
| | This appendix contains 27 interesting observations and stories that were too long to print within the text of the book. I call them Personal Notes. As you read the book, every now and then you will see a footnote pointing you to a specific Personal Notes in this appendix. If you want, you can read them all at once, just for fun. |
