"In alternating chapters, perfectionist, no-nonsense Ardis and her more gregarious, enthusiastic sister (one spelled, the other didn't) recall the days when type and women were hot. It is a thoroughly charming little memoir, treating not only of small-town newspapers but of the small-town America they reflected. Plus, of course, a pre-Lib primer on what a woman could do when she set her mind to it, even in the '30s, without losing her rightly cherished femininity."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
