Sorry to disappoint you, but I answered this one by e-mail very shortly after it was posted. So Nyah, Nyah yourself. (-:

: Seriously, though--I've enjoyed the comments and discussion. The old board's really been hopping the last couple of days, which is the way it should be.

Thank you for the nice words. I'm sure everyone appreciates them as much as I do.

: ABE is short for Advanced Book Exchange, over 2000 booksellers online, usually out of print or antiquarian books. To the best of my recollection, the URL is:

: http://www.abebooks.com/

: If I'm wrong, I'm sure Michael or Irene will gleefully correct me, right, gang?

You're right -- and you're right. But I don't know about the "gleefully" part. I prefer "Respectfully" myself, as you might have noticed.

: You can search by author, title, or very detailed subject. Their glossary of book-related terms is very helpful to all us non-Irenes out here who may not be up on all the technical terms. Enjoy!

: For the Solar Queen fan out there, if you want a discussion, start it yourself! Propose a reading schedule [Irene's already given us the chronological order; I'd suggest that], start talking about it, and the rest of us will join in. Frankly, discussion like that is something I've missed from this site. I've lacked the initiative to start it myself, but I'll gladly join in whatever anybody comes up with.

Oh, golly gosh wow gee-whiz! An invitation to start a new thread. Can I resist it?

Well, as a matter of fact I can. So there.

Respectfully (and just a little bit gleefully),
