Two Things: First, the title is spelled I s l e of Stone, Isle as in short
for island, smile. It's hard when words sound alike but are spelled
differentially. It makes s it hard to find anything.
The author is
Nicholas Nicastro. N i c a s t r o
When you click on the title, along with other information about the book, such
as how many pages it has and maybe a short synopsis, the author's name is
given. Also, on the checkout list, there is a column next to the column that
has the titles that gives the author's name.
HTH ( if you're like me, and some of the rest of us who didn't know at first
what that meant, it's short for Hope That Helps. smile

To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to

put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line. To get a list of
available commands, put the word 'help' by itself in the subject line.
