I for one, enjoy the references to reading material.  Without the list I 
would not have read Into Thin Air or TA DA The Perfect Storm.  Just wanted to 
let you know that I got it (Storm) yesterday at COSTCO in paperback for $7.99.

Another book I got was "Natural Wonders of the Florida Keys - Exploring Wild 
and Scenic Places" by Deborah Straw.  1999  ISBN 1-56626-047-7  A $14.95 
paperback, it is $9.49 in Costco.   No pictures (some b/w sketches), but 
certainly nice to have in the car as you drive down.

I was also tempted by River Horse (?) by William Least Heat Moon, but like 
the other P'wiser refrained because it was a hardback.  I have his "Blue 
Highways - A Journey Into America" which I believe is a classic on a par with 
Steinbeck's Travels with Charley because I have read frequent references to 
Blue Highways.

Sandy Kramer the bibliophile in Miami where the Book Fair begins next week 
and I'm not sure if I can "afford" to go - too many temptations!
