Be thankful that I am not Larry McMurtry.

The book does, though, provide very clear historical information and
examples as to the development of the concept of "professional
architect" and provides a background in a variety of reasons behind the
strategies and the media and public relations efforts that have taken
place over an extended period of time to result in an individual feeling
that they need to procure the services of an architect.

I got my copy for writing the book review, others may possibly claim
their copies as a professional business expense, and for some it may
prove less expensive than therapy. It said "craft" in the title but I
think the review editor assumed too quickly that it meant trades work
and not architectural and they may have been caught off guard when they
received the finished review.

I have here on loan a very slim pamphlet on traditional bake ovens that
when I went online found I could replace, if lost, for from $60 to $200.
I'm trying not to lose it.
