I just got home to find a package waiting for me. My address was handwritten on it and the return address was for a Michael Cockburn (I think, I can't really make out the surname) in Saint Albans. I don't know anyone of that name, nor was I expected anything except for a couple of packages from Amazon (variously containing Banks' _The Algebraist_, Stephenson's _The System of the World_ and Southern's _The Roman Empire From Severus To Constatine_). Intrigued, I opened it to find an old and somewhat battered copy of _The Iron Dragon's Daughter_ by Mike Swanwick. This is a book I spent many years searching for, until the lovely Ashley bought me a copy about four years ago. So now I'm wondering who the kind donor is, why they would send me a book that I wanted very much years ago, and where they got my address.
Does anyone have any ideas? Rich _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
