    Grant, I have a first edition that was handled by Elsie that I could let go cheap ...

    I found mine new copy bent in half and stuffed in the mailbox this morning. I swear these guys are trying to prove every post office myth for incompetence ...

    But the book's in good condition, and the extra papers were a nice touch.

    Ah - the Scottish Tartans Authority will do just fine - now I can tell people where to go to find information when they request that I make them a kilt.

    As some of you might remember, I used to send the books out in boxes. As a result of postal rate increases, though, it now costs about $8 to send the book to the West Coast in a box. I decided to opt for flat rate envelopes and to protect the wiro binding with a slide-on rigid plastic sleeve. The packaging isn't stiff the way it used to be, and I hope that doesn't create problems. Given the cost of mailing in boxes, I'm hoping I don't have to go back to that.

    Barb, I just wanted to say thanks for the credit. I now have, egotistically speaking, the perfect reason to buy the 2nd edition. As if keeping up to date wasn't enough reason.
