Which is as it should be.... it is the smart librarian who takes advantage
of the bookseller who can focus on their subject and teach them much that
they would not have had time to learn on their own. I have been very
grateful for this relationship and for the generousity of booksellers in many
many subjects who have freely and graciously shared with me their knowledge.

aka Lurkers are "out in left field"... not knowing what is going on....but we
keep plugging away at the important stuff... like the copper plates... I
think I have some... and will dig them out shortly. ..
