New book shares ABCs, magic, history of UNC

Posted Dec 13, 2020
The University of North Carolina Press sent me a copy of "UNC A to Z – What Every Tar Heel Needs to Know about the First State University." Comedian and UNC alum Lewis Black may have said it best in summing up this book: “It’s wonderfully written. It gives the nuts and bolts of Carolina without losing any of its magic," he said "It’s a beautiful achievement.” (WRAL.com)
