When Bad Things Happen to Good Databases
From the site of a bookseller whose name (and URL) I will kindly omit:
Cicero was a primate, and letters are no doubt symbols as well as collections of symbols, and Cicero’s letters are a “particularly highly-developed form of primate communication”, but I think the blurb is meant for the book pictured, not the bold-faced title.
I wonder which book you get if you click on the ‘buy’ link.
