Can't say I'm a very serious one, but there's two or three metres of prime shelf space taken up by the annual collections published in albums by Australia Post alone! It's academic anyway as we can no longer fit all our books in the library we put in a few years ago, even though the shelves are floor to ceiling on all four walls. Books are more prolific breeders than coat hangers in our place. Regards, Ray. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
