books for discussion

Wed Apr 7 02:03:17 UTC 2004

Linnea, thank you very much for the valuable information.

I think that both books sound very good. Probably I will buy both of the
books for my personal use at least. I will go to a conference in Texas
next week, and, if a book exhibit is available, I will buy them. After my
coming back, you can examine them.

Best wishes,

Noriko
