“a thorough recounting of the time-tested methods employed by [Pappoutsakis]. … meticulously transcribed material. … A distinguished teacher in her own right, Barwell adds her own helpful suggestions. ….The spirit of the man is palpable throughout the book. …  Barwell has given us the opportunity to hear, decades later, the wisdom of Pappoutsakis’s lifetime of experience, in which are exhibited the principles that we desire all of our students to embrace.”
