Re: IML: Imperial Library

Ditto Eric!  I have owned this book for quite some time now and every time I 
pick it up, I find something I haven't seen or read before.  I sort of save 
it to read when I have time.  It's a great book and well worth the money.  I 
think I bought it from a catalog, can't recall.  Amazon or some other online 
bookseller probably has it.
