The books are available and have been for *decades*. This is the problem with spoiler space... someone is always spoiled, so you can't discuss anything without spoiler space, so you may as well just mark the whole LIST as a spoiler. It's a useful courtesy in certain narrow cases; it's not appropriate as a general policy for readily-available books. -- Matthew Hunter (matthew at infodancer.org) Homepage: http://matthew.infodancer.org/index.jsp Public Key: http://matthew.infodancer.org/public_key.txt
