I guess I just have standards
I received a free book from Library Thing's free reviewer batch. I don't want to talk about what the book is or who it's by until I post my review their.
I will say this though--I was reading one of it's endnotes and was horrified when I saw a citation for Wikipedia.
I'm hardly a Wiki-basher. I think the people that hate Wikipedia are elitists, generally, and don't understand the value of knowledge brought together by many people.
BUT, an encyclopedia isn't an acceptable source in a high school paper, let alone a book. Granted, it's not a scholarly book (It's a self-help book). I still think it's unacceptable.
