Wish I wouldn't have sold this back...

I had the pleasure of learning in the editor's-- Dr. John Parks'-- classroom, specifically the course that goes along with this collection. I sold most of my books back after each semester, and upon looking back on my undergraduate career, this is the only book that I wish I would have kept. It is a fantastic collection, especially for those who want a guide on whom to read next!
