Incidentally, does anyone know who the originator of this quotation is?

The general attribution I've seen over the years is to Benjamin Disraeli...quoted below:

"The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book about it." - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

    Thank you! Google seems to agree — disraeli "write a book" brings up thousands of pages with that attribution. Good enough for me. :-)
