//Sanctifying the World: The Augustinian Life and Mind of Christopher
Dawson//, by Bradley J. Birzer. (Front Royal, VA: [[http://www.christendompress.com/|Christendom Press]], 2007.)

I'm rather proud of this book. Not as proud as the author, I imagine,
but with 332 pages, over **1100 footnotes**, and a final **index of
over 20 pages**, //Sanctifying the World// was occasionally
strenuous.  Good thing I [[:about/#why_text|wasn't trying to
click my way through]]. Without BibTeX (a standard LaTeX extension)
automatically handling each footnote and checking whether or not it
was the first citation for that source, I might still be working on
it.

My one regret is that wavy effect in the top left corner.
Unfortunately, it was unavoidable with the scan we had to use.
