Thanks for the offer, Jackie. but I really don't mind. I have the print book
from my husband's university library and so I don't have to worry about
renewing it. The book (and it's only the early years) is over 800 pages. It's
nice, though to have something else o work on at the same time so if I get
tired of one subject I can switch to the other book. smile
