The photos in this history of the peace symbol are great and the essay is not bad, but the quickie editing spoiled reading this. It has typos and awkward language in spots because there must have been a major Readers Digest push to get this out in time for the anniversary. As a coffee-table book, it works. As reading material, not so much.
