After the confirmation of irrefutable documentary links between the early American Wafting movement and some of the great names in Wooly Mammoth International organizational history, the publication of this edition of Milady's Guide To Inside Wafting as a part of the WMI's prestigious "Books of Extinction" series was a happily unavoidable conclusion.
Contemporaneously, the renewed public controversy sparked by civil libertarian and environmentalist litigation has only served to heighten interest in (and indeed attendance at) the matches of this past summer.
