SOURCE NOTES
When I read a book, I generally use two bookmarks: one for the last page I’ve read, and one for the page housing the corresponding source notes. I do this because I often want to know more about a person, a quote, or an incident mentioned by the author, but not discussed in depth in the book I am reading. Examining the author’s cited source enables me to dig deeper into questions and events that interest me, such as what was said before or after the quoted passage, how others responded to the incident, and the background of the person mentioned. That information may not be appropriate for inclusion in the present work, but may be interesting and often results in my purchasing another book. This becomes difficult when the sources identified are located in an archive that is not easily accessed. Because of this, I have endeavored as often as possible to select sources that are available to readers who wish to learn more about the events about which I have written.
