Great suggestion. Also, I think most libraries will order a book they don't carry over Inter-Library Loan (ILL) for it's patrons, often for free. For a long time I've ordered about one sailing related book a week through Inter-Library Loan! I keep expecting my library to say "enough's enough" but they haven't complained yet.

Seems a possible alternative for a limited budget. Steve M-15 # 335
