John,
Got my copy and am reading along in the evenings. I will echo all the praise you are receiving for TBBBGH, and add that there aren't any whitetail in California as you surmised. Well, there was one in the San Diego zoo, but it passed on years ago I suppose.
The inserts tucked into the book were useful as I called Eileen and ordered two old cookbooks to complete my collection of her cooking work. I did not know people collect cookbooks until I read about one in the Wall Street Journal, and that motivated me.
