Adaire, You were one of the first AJLies that I contacted when I became a Judaic librarian. I found your number in Margot Berman's book HOW TO START A JEWISH LIBRARY. You gave me advice that was very helpful. Todah rabbah and see you next year in Jerusalem (when I visit). Please send us your contact info when you settle. Amalia Warshenbrot
