RavePittsburgh Post-GazetteAlthough profusely illustrated with ink-washed line drawings, The Dairy Restaurant is a \'real\' — that is to say, typeset — book, exhaustively researched and authoritatively well-written, not a comic strip ... this story must be illustrated since it can’t be tasted ... Throughout, therefore, image and text are brought together in a variety of intentional, very meaningful ways ... In The Dairy Restaurant, the chronicler is the author himself, who has compiled a testament worthy of its savory history.
Benjamin Dreyer
RavePittsburgh Post-Gazette\"A writer-acquaintance of mine told me that Mr. Dreyer’s book is \'the only style guide I’ve ever read from cover-to-cover,\' and that she bought several copies to give out this season as graduation gifts. It’s that kind of book. Until one has read it completely from cover-to-cover, it seems unlikely that anyone would think to consult it as a proper how-to resource; only then, recalling that Mr. Dreyer had something incisive to say on the difference between affect and effect, say, or the slippage of the word sanction to mean both to allow and its exact opposite, would one turn to it for reassurance.\
