O'Connor had me read de Brunhoff's book (Hey, Gulick, did you read it, too, seems like it mighta been a bit more up your alley?). Though I've forgotten it all, at the time its concreteness, sophistication and detail was really really instructive, if a bit dry and overwhelming. You're the only person other than Jim I've ever seen reference it.
