'Dear Liz, thank you for such a comprehensive, well-considered review of our book ...'.  Arbon Publishing
Reading a book takes time, as it does to review a book and follow up with a written précis. The reader needs time to digest the author's words, chew on them, re-read some chapters, and conduct research to back up their review. I've been reviewing books since 1993 and enjoy the process immensely. Thank you dear publishers for sending titles from your stable for my review. More importantly, thank you for giving me time to give your books the consideration they deserve.

Turophile: noun  tu·ro·phile \ˈtu̇r-ə-ˌfī(-ə)l, ˈtyu̇r-\ According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a connoisseur of cheese or a cheese fancier is known as a Turophile. Apparently, the term comes from an irregular formation of the Greek word for cheese, tyros, coupled with the English word, phile, which means 'lover', and was first adopted circa 1938. ​
