I first read this essay a few months ago in an effort to get to know Bernard Schaffer as a writer. I reread it a few minutes ago in an effort to see how much he'd revised it.This is still a somewhat humorous, history-filled, well written essay and I recommend it to anyone who is curious about Freemasonry, or even why I consider it such an honor to work with a writer of Bernard's caliber.[Added 4/22/12] Since Bernard went and rewrote this whole darn thing, I decided to reread it. Even if you already nabbed the shorter version of this book, the newer edition is well worth picking up. It's full of his wit and charm, but also a very interesting read. It's a prime example of why I continue to tell people that Bernard Schaffer is a writer to watch and a brilliant essayist. And for goodness sake, please don't tell him I called him brilliant because it'll go straight to his head. ;)
