Or are you just trying to sell more books? I know you are a keen reader, but come on support your local libraries, I know they dont keep everything, but can get books in from other local libraries ( in my kneck of the woods anyway), which means you have access to quite a selction. In this modern playstation age, there doesnt seem to be the interest in books amongst kids like there used to be, so they need support from the old fogies like me to ensure that they stay open. Stepsdown off soapbox, The Valley Vegan................ I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can still do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
