I'd just like to pop down 2 more cents while were all about it! I don't
know where you're located, but most book stores (Barnes & Noble, Borders,
etc.) have tables and the whole works and don't mind how long you sit and
check out those books before you buy! (Pretty nice people, if you ask me!)
I like to take advantage of that; it's how I get the information to pass on
to people who can't find the time to read those books!
