Hi GatorDeb,
Your question reminded me of one of my college roommates (Hi Tom!) who would always SMELL a book to help him decide whether or not to buy it!

Hi Lemurion,
Your comment reminded me of my 7th grade English teacher (Hi Mrs. Hazelman) who replied, if anyone asked her how long our essays "had" to be, "As long as a woman's skirt--long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to maintain interest."
Regards,
