Language, communication, and verbal prescription
“But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’,” Alice objected.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all.”

Early reviews of More Than Two
We just wanted to share with you some of the great coverage we’ve gotten for the book over the last few weeks:

Noel Figart,The Polyamorous Misanthrope: “Friends, this one makes you think. Any any book that encourages you to think clearly about emotionally charged subjects like romantic relationships can only be a positive.”

We get an extra $2 per book when you use it, along with a percentage of anything else you buy on the same visit.)
