Thanks Misha.

It should be on the checkout list now.  I don't know when I'll get the
rest done.  The recovery from my operation has gone so well that I tend
to do a bit too much, then have to rest a couple days.  I have three
more of the books scanned but not cleaned up, but I think I'm quitting
early tonight.
