    Such commentary has become ubiquitous on the Internet and is widely
    perceived to carry no indicium of reliability and little weight.

    Many years ago, I picked up The Compleat Enchanter thanks to this group.
    I enjoyed it so much that I picked up The Complete Compleat Enchanter,
    which I enjoyed enough to pick up two more volumes co-authored by de
    Camp and Stasheff. They were also good - not as good as the de Camp &
    Pratt, but still good.
