Additional text

Someone had to write this book. What becomes quickly obvious is that only Mitchell Wilson could have done so, and for the very reasons he lays out in this treasure of a volume. ... His work is unpretentious, intimate, unabashed, floridly creative, and human in the best sense of that word.
