And you also don't read instruction books either, right?  Including the 
one about setting your computer clock for daylight saving time--or are 
you still on standard?  I'm getting answers to your questions or 
comments before you asked them or made them.

I couldn't believe that nobody bid on a 1940 Commodore printing of the 
38 on a Nauction a year or so ago, so I got it on the unsold list for 
three bucks.  A GREAT copy, too.  I has marks and neat underlinings from 
the former owner, which happened to be an Ivy League dorm! Harvard I 
think (it's not at hand)  Showed the interests of those Ivy League White 
Boys!  And a listing for Zulus Ball is neatly penned in.  Also found a 
48 recently with a fancy binding glued over the real one.
