Flap a Day

As you have no doubt been informed, I continue to skim a book flap a day as part of my ambitious program to skim a book flap every day. I plan to do it for a year and then write a book about how I did something for a year. I must say, the flap of THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TRAINS & LOCOMOTIVES starts out with a bang, declaring, "There has always been something awe-inspiring about the spectacle of an onrushing train." In fact, I became so excited and tired that I could not skim the remainder of the flap.
