About the book link at the bottom of the post: I thought in 2021 I would resurrect my onetime practice of putting a link to a relevant, recommended, or intriguing book at the end of every post—perhaps one mentioned in a recent post, perhaps not; perhaps one I've seen, perhaps one I've only heard of. If the feature provides a convenient jump to Amazon for TOP readers, so much the better.
Because not everyone can see the image links on my site, I'll include both an image and a text link, plus a link the to book at The Book Depository, which offers free international shipping worldwide. I'll keep each link up for about a week.
Give this a few weeks then I'll ask you what you think of it.
I'll venture a guess Elements, due soon on January 5th, might sell out quickly. Voyeuristic voyaging to the corners of the earth for those stuck isolating.
Mike

Hi Mike,
for your non-US readers: the book was published about a month ago and is widely available world wide.
And: please support your local bookstore when ordering.
Greetings and best wishes from Holland,
Hans van der Molen
[Hi Hans, I am also a bookstore!! Selling books and cameras is how TOP has survived this long. My business is about the same as a small-to-midsized bricks-and-mortar independent bookstore, but without the overhead, and offered in the same spirit of enthusiasm and camaraderie. Every time you buy a book or other product through my links, you contribute a little of the profit to TOP. So, please support your non-local bookstore as well. At this moment, it needs it. Merry Christmas! --Mike]

Mike,
I will "jump the gun" on what I think of this: I think it is a wonderful idea! Your past recommendations prove what a real gift (genius) your work experience, combined with your own tastes, have for identifying exceptional books. I will just have to hide my credit card from myself, if history is any measure. Thanks!
