Barton's Book.. I am overwhelmed by your generosity! I have located and ordered the books Cristy suggested from ABEBooks.com. Just one item of interest. Even with my glasses on and typing very carefully, I had to request the books three times before they were "found." I persevered because you assured me they were available.
