Thanks, but no thanks. Way too technical for me, but I can see that it would be
extremely valuable. We volunteers have always had a lot of trouble translating
mathematics in books for bookshare members--and they're in archeology and other
kinds of books, too. Wonderful work you two are doing. I hope the grant can be
extended. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you got MacArthur grants!
