oooh, could you give me the cite info for that quote? What are the full author's names, the page number and the publishing info of the book. I'm tracking down early references to MFU writing and this is perfect!

Sure thing! R. H. Poole and P. J. Shepherd, page 9. Heinemann Educational Books Ltd, London. First published 1967, reprinted 1972 (though by memory, the elder book had the same preface--it was falling at the seams so I took home the newer one)

I was pretty ecstatic when I came across the reference myself. Turned that slow study day right round!

Well, hope this helps you ;)
