Post 2B

Mr. Grossman,
I find it simply fascinating that you leave us no information about Israeli names for certain items which we have no idea about. While happened to know what a magnum bar was based on my trip to Europe, I suspect that few other American readers do. There are still other names which I am left clueless by upon reading them in your text. Although I can understand including these terms shows the true being of Israeli society, I really think that American readers would understand your book a lot more if you let them know what some of these things meant. You would probably get a lot more readers. I have one word for your editors- footnotes!
