thanks David - sorry, wasn't trying to suggest you should compromise the quality of your writing by making it a budget effort, but rather perhaps that there might be production areas such as hard back versus soft cover issues that might assist with the budget. The Chance book was a quality text, and cost wise not expensive, and represented very good value for money. It's when the cost gets up to £50 plus that people might think twice. Also, please don't make it as heavy as Charles Hajdamach's "20 Century etc." - only they are too heavy to hold in the bath - or almost anywhere for that matter.

Anyway, hope I live long enough to see something from you re Webb, feel sure it will be very worthwhile.
hello Carolyn

- the only quote from that first lady that I can see - relevant to books - is................"There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all.” Don't know if this was what you were trying to remember.
She also said.......“There are two kinds of women: those who want power in the world, and those who want power in bed” ......................and for poignancy
"What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane?"
but I must desist...........I see Anne getting out her red pen - again
