I barely even know where to start with this veritable train wreck of a book. I very nearly gave up on page 17, where Appleby refers to "old lithographs" in the 1490s (lithography wasn't invented until the 1790s). But I kept reading. And the howlers kept coming. The one that finally put me over edge came on page 127 ("They burned witches in Massachusetts ..."). Between the errors, misspellings, repetitions, and other infelicities, I don't think there's much here. Milk the bibliography if you can, but otherwise, stay away from this book.
