- Ah! Caving, no wonder, and I thought cavers were most excellent and
- superior to all others! I will add upon a "second" and no objections
- as is standard procedure.

- I have a circulating request with Powell's in Portland (c/o Martha Roos),
- so I don't quite want two queries at once (I have read this wonderful book:
- the inspiration of Hofstaeder's Godel, Escher, Bach book). This was
- perhaps my most successful signature line getting three classic books,
- one for free (Optimizing Compilers: 15 years out of print and two CS profs
- requesting to copy it), Imhof: my most expensive book [on cartography: $150],
- and an interesting book on Ben Whorf).
