In sum, this history of public pension plans, full of investment scandal and political intrigue, provides a well-written, page turner for pension aficionados.
For the aficionado, the most avid (and well off) probably should obtain this set.
By contrast, cricket merchants and aficionados from the cities acknowledge differences in value depending on size, quality and classification.
Cricket merchants and cricket-fight aficionados are very particular about when the cricket should be purchased.
Hunters and sellers may be looking at exactly the same cricket as are the merchants and aficionados, but from a very different perspective.
Currently, crickets are basically distributed through a channel that starts with cricket hunters, goes through cricket merchants and ends with cricket aficionados.
But there were many interested aficionados unable to attend meetings who craved all the additional information they could gather.
Any experienced cricket-fight aficionado would be expected to have such knowledge and skills.
