Rather than be flamed for sending it to an inappropriate group, I'm asking for advice here, as to which group I should post to. Don't flame me for that, I'm not flameproof. I am looking for a copy of a book called "The Algorithm Writer's Guide", by Doris Wheatley. It is no longer in print, and all 5 copies I have located in my county library system have been stolen from the shelves. I want to ask if anybody has it, particularly anybody in the SF Bay Area, who is willing to let a stranger borrow it. Can someone please tell me if there is a news group which would be appropriate for such a request? mef -- WARNING: Opinions in posting are farther away than they appear.
