"It's a funny thing about circles that they have a focal point, and if you stand in the middle, things get bounced back in a strange way."  From The Justice newspaper (Brandeis), 1992.

Advance praise for the newly emerged How to Spot the Loch Ness Monster Every Time:

"Such an artful device for guiding readers through an analysis of the dynamics of their own faculties of perception within a metaphysical context.  If readers are willing and able to follow where you lead, I have little doubt they'll spot Nessie.  But even if the best they can do is make a good faith attempt, they'll very likely see themselves more clearly than they did before." —Nash, Virginia

"I love this inspired little book!  It makes me want to go look at Nessie immediately!" —Lawrence, Tennessee

"This is a guide to see many things in life, factual or fictional.” —George, the Netherlands

"At the end I was reminded of the old question ‘have you found Jesus?’ And now when I tell others about our visit I will happily say that while I didn’t see Nessie, I did find her." —Gordon, Illinois

"If you approach the Loch Ness monster as a skeptic then you’ve already tilted the tide towards disbelief.  I personally used to be deeply skeptical until I started experimenting myself with the tools in this booklet and eventually saw Nessie." —Bryan, California
