i was honoured when this book was put in my hands by the gracious author, Saroj Panthey, who kindly explained her motives for the years of
research that went into its writing. Perusing the many photos and diagrams along with the accompanying text afforded me hours of pleasure and wonder as i explored with delight its intricacies and revelations.
