Let the people here know how long it takes you to get the books. I am pretty sure (based on the fact that I looked for texts on oilfield exploration in northern Guyana, and got several hits); that their search-engine simply searches a global publication database; when they get an order they seek it out and order it. If they really put effort into finding the book, then it looks like a really good service. If they try a couple of things, and can't find it; then respond "it's out of print" or something, then it's (IMO) a waste of time. -- Rennie Allen QNX Software Systems Ltd. 175 Terence Matthews Crescent (613) 591-0931 (voice) Kanata, Ontario, Canada K2M 1W8 (613) 591-3579 (fax) " When they broke open molecules, they found they were only stuffed with atoms.
