	Sounds interesting.  Give us a review or anecdotes from the
book if you think it worthwhile.

	That fellow, DeBono or similar, who writes books on thinking
creatively has a trick I heard about thirdhand that says if you can't
think of a way to do something, try to prove that it can't be done.
People have told me it's a good way to solve problems.

	This book could be creative in that way, too.
