Just when you thought you had your summer reading under control (I have a slew of books next to my bed that blogging seems to keep me from reading), the Appraisal Institute updates it’s mainstay publication:

The Appraisal of Real Estate, Thirteenth Edition

In fact, it is probably an even better read than my recent books: Bad Astronomy, The Aspirin Wars and American Nerd: The Story of my People.

Ok, I admit it, I am dull and boring.
