Hi all, I'm posting this article here because I feel most of you will sympathise with me and someone out there might even be able to help me. Being from Down Under, we are slow to get things from overseas, and this particular example is no exception. I went into my favorite bookshop today to order (I knew they wouldn't have it!) Graphics Gems. After almost an hour, I was told that it would be a *three month* wait, and that it would cost $109.00A!! I would *love* to get this book sometime before Christmas 2000, and hopefully at a lower price. I wondered if there was anyone out there who: a) has access to copies of Graphics Gems by Andrew Glassner b) would be willing to purchase a copy for me and post it over. note: I will pay the person in advance by cheque or money order for any costs incurred (post, purchase price, packaging etc.). Maybe I'm a sucker to offer to send money to someone I've never met or will never meet, but I'm a trusting sucker, and I rely on 'The Net Honor Code' that binds all of us together!! Daf. PS. Please email replies direct to me, and we'll take it from there. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Davyd Norris : "Strange people physicists...
