   The Kirkus Review of this book at the time of its publication, has a warning for us. “Public Libraries- have a care.” The review starts “Jones and Mailer will seem sissies to some readers when they read MacKinlay Kantor’s orgy with sex rampant.” Don’t you know that this improved sales?

   Did anyone else read the title of this book and then immediately sing in their heads “oh-oh oh oh-oh-oh,” ala M.C. Hammer style?

   Of course, laughter (out loud at my desk) soon followed.

   Nice yellowed pages, I bet they’re brittle too.

   This Pulitzer Prize novel about the Civil War is claimed to be the greatest ever written.

   Oh my, I bet Rex Parker would love to have this. He loves old paperbacks like this.

   What, dare I ask, is a ‘sing-song girl’? And why does the woman on the front cover look so pasty white?

   With all the woman hungry/man hungry descriptions, all I can think about is cannibals.

   I don’t get it. Are they in Korea or Japan?
