    Sadly, AC is speaking the truth.
    Sad not that it was an AC pointing this out, sad that those jerks could have used any of millions of photos of US ships or planes but somehow they decided only foreign tools were appropriate for their purposes of impressing their constituents.

    I thought 'Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand', what a great title!
    I was right.
    A horrible, horrible read.
    Never purchased a Sam Delany title again.
    I forced myself to finish the book because I could not believe they would publish a hardback book that was this bad.
    I was wrong.
    Great punch line though, a friend of mine noticed the book title and wanted to borrow it.
    I told him he now owned the book and warned him about how bad it was, he did no believe me, untill he read it.
    Same result.
    Sorry Mike!
    Again: Do not read or purchase this book!
