Add CommentDear Michelle Press: I'm very thankful for your taking the time to review my book "Coming of Age in Second Life"--it's the first review I've seen. One of my own first publications was a book review in Scientific American, so it's a real treat to see my own book reviewed in its pages. Thanks so much! Sincerely yours, Tom Boellstorff
