Yeah, we have one of those too, Andrew, with the money going to UNICEF,
but I don't want to pile it up too much. And I just heard from a friend
that some people from Poland will be here who could take a lot of books
back with them.
I'd like to have those issues, but: I have most of the work I want from
them in books, & no where to put them. Do you think you'll actually
read them? I know I have material I definitely planned to read but
haven't yet managed to -- after years....
