Clay, the book you mention seems out of print. How about making the online sheet less basic by using your sources? ;-) I see lots of advantages: the internet is (or will be soon) available anywhere, anytime (thinking of e.g the iPhone), so you dont have to take a book with you. And you don't have

Hi Agnes and everyone I think that would be the price per package. In the Lee Valley catalogue, they are item EV140; 6 for CAD16.50. They are made of silicone, can be reused many times, can go in the freezer, microwave or oven - heat resistant to 357 C. (675 F) that should be hotter than any
