Reasonable Facsimile: An Anthology

By Clifford L. Carter, Del Staecker, K. S. Luke

A reasonable facsimile refers to a copy or imitation that is not exact but is fairly close. It is often used to describe a reproduction or representation that is close enough to the original, but not identical. The term is often used in a humorous or ironic way to describe something that is almost, but not quite, like the original.

Reasonable Facsimile is a captivating anthology that brings together a diverse collection of stories and essays, each exploring the intricacies of the human condition. This anthology delves into the various ways individuals approach life's challenges, either by striving relentlessly for the best or by accepting and making the most of the cards they are dealt.
