Thanks, as always, Elizabeth, for these links. I learn every time I visit. Wouldn't you know it, the first link was the one that caught my eye. More than once I've wanted to put factual things (beyond geography) in one of my books, but it can be tricky to do that. This looks like a helpful guide.
Hope you find it useful! Yes, it can definitely be tricky.
Another good list!
Thanks!
