[Reading-hall-of-fame] Huey book

[Alan Farstrup]

Hi, everyone!

I agree with what Jay and others have been saying with regard to  
Huey's work.  It's gratifying to see that the reprint is now available  
through IRA, something I had advocated.  It was so interesting to me  
that at the HOF symposium in Atlanta last year each of the presenters  
saw great value in the book and, at the same time, presented very  
different perspectives.  The audience was very engaged and interested  
and hopefully they and others will now take the step of adding the  
Huey book to their professional collections.
