NOTICE:

Shortly, this will be a paperback on Kindle.  This is advanced notice to regular readers of this blog (The Peripatetic Philosopher) and website (www.fisherofideas.com).  The “Table of Contents” gives a sense of what this 300 page book is about.  Over 1,000 missives have been published on the blog of which this book is composed of a specific genre.  What I have commenced to do (of late) is look at these missives and glean common themes to share in a different context with readers.
