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!
