I couldn't verify the hook fact because Google Books doesn't show the content. However, I found this source that does confirm it. Perhaps that reference could be added? Everything else checks out so this is ready to go. violet/riga _^[talk] 23:23, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. That's strange, Google Books should be working still (it's fine on my Mac). I've added the source anyways; thanks for providing me with that. Could I trouble you to move this nom down to the "special occasion holding area? Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:39, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Google Books seems to be ok again now - it had seemingly reached a viewing limit. Moved to special occasion. violet/riga _^[talk] 23:23, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
