        Tim O'Reilly responds with surprise that nobody can read the large ad,
        etc with the numbers in the front of the book. He continues with:

        Questioning my sanity, I looked for an O'Reilly book again.
        Title Page, blah, blah with street address
        other side: copyright 1986, printed in USA, blah,blah, Second Edition

        Still no phone#, still no e-mail - so far so good - I'm still with you

        Back page: Nutshell Handbook ad for 7 (count them) books
                   bottom of page: name and address again, still no phone# etc
        Back cover page: same - name, address - no phone

        I'm glad to say that I can still read. I'd be glad to send photo
        copies of my Nutshell books to attest as to my sanity.

        Perhaps I should trade my set of books for the latest models just in
        case someone may ask for their phone number again and I'd be accused
        of not looking hard enough for what can't be seen.
