Title: An Error-ridden History
Product review: I ordered this book expecting it to be an entertaining history of the development of the calendar, but this history tends to be very sterile in its presentation. Personalities are buried under dry facts. My biggest objection is how many errors occur. Not just the numerous typographical errors, but ridiculous ones where the author states the reverse of what he obviously means. Even his step by step procedure for calculating the date for Easter doesn't work because of errors. One has to wonder if anyone read the galley proofs.
