I know shocking, but this is only getting a two from me. I read it ridiculously fast and somehow I highly doubt this is the "best"--it was only after googling to see if there was a FULL collection of her columns, I stumbled upon this:
http://www.gwu.edu/~erpapers/myday/br...

Not sure why that site is so broken, but all her full columns are there, so now that I finished reading the Jefferson correspondence that is archived online, I guess this will be my next project.

This book--while good and fast read--had a lot of typos and yes, in one case a repeated paragraph. Not all the headers felt appropriate to the snippets beneath and it felt rushed. Like the FBI was given two hours to compile an Eleanor Roosevelt column book or hostages would die. Some of the context was okay, but I would have preferred to have been less spoon fed portions and given a main course. I was hoping this book would be more like The People and the President: America's Extraordinary Conversation with FDR, which was great, but felt like rehash.

In fairness, it could be that the huge span of years and columns (6 columns a week for almost 30 years is a lot of material)--it probably would have been a better project to have like a volume per decade of the best.
