If Longacre Wrote a Book, What Would the Title Be?

CoinosaurusCoinosaurus Posts: 9,615 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The title of the book would start with the words, "A Seminal Dissertation on..."

    Or possibly "A Learned Discussion of..."

    In either case, the book would be a seminal text on the selected topic. It would be well written, of eminent fairness and an enjoyable read.
