There are so many Cusslers, and Cornwells, not to mention the whole Kellerman clan in the shed that there's no room for my stuff [said I sulking]. <br />But I'm with you about the newspapers. reading them on a screen just ain't the same.

Besides, you should keep what you need in order to feed your hungry readers more fab photos, anecdotes and insights.<br />But... atlases without new European / Caucasian boundaries?
