Congratulations! You have just learned what some of us have known for years. May I also suggest your local charity's thrift store? Sometimes you can find books there even cheaper than a dollar, and some of them may be almost new. While we're on the subject, do you know how you can tell that the clerk in a dollar store is really new? When you hear him/her get on the intercom and call out "Price check on register 1" . . . -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home. -- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
