E:

I sort of figured that...

A gypsy, but not wanting to come to the Getaway? I hope I can survive the disappointment.

The other problem is that unless I go to a MAJOR library, they do not have what I am looking for. I have never found Farmer (on Miracles, or on Demonics) in one- but I have them at home. ( Major texts on witch trials and angels, mine are something like 43rd printings, 1823)

My 14th -18th century poetry shelf is far more than the local libraries- I am luckey if they even have complete works of the major poets.

ANd they get rid of encyclopaedeas when the are 10 years old or so- I find the 11th ed. Britt. (1910-11) to be much more useful than what they have on the shelf, for anything about the 19th cent or earlier.
