Excellent! I always typed 'pt1' or 'pt2' or something onto the end of the file name and then copy and pasted them all into a new single file. That worked, but this ought to be even faster.

As with so many things, it'll probably be better in the long haul but it will take a bit of getting used to initially.

Carry on recording these wonderful books!

Yup, yup, yup, PL OK.

I hope you're just about settled in now for the holidays and don't need to go to the supermarket when it's absolutely crazy tomorrow.

Hi Erin,

Thanks!
Kids visiting. Off to the Gene Autry museum today and tomorrow to the Museum of Jurassic Technology (that one you should look up!)

Chapter 2 is PL OK. And yes, she's a real firecracker!

The museums sound brilliant. I've just looked at the exhibitions. I hope you have a terrific time, and hello to your family!

Hi Pam,

Working with you is an education. I mean, it would be simply from being exposed to new books and authors I haven't read, but your commentary is wonderful. Please feel free to footnote anything you like, especially the history of medicine!

I have one note for chapter 5, at 6.08-6.10, the second sentence of the third paragraph on page 32:
...the executors [heard executioners] dismissed...

The author's mother sounds like quite a woman, too.
