It worked ok-ish in that I did get toning eventually; it's very slow, and if 
you 
bleach too far tone doesn't come back as it does when sepia toning.  
It is a totally different process, and I understand that.  The color I got was 
nice yellow-greenish brown. 

What I'd really like to find is a toner (besides tea and coffee) that adds a 
cream color to the paper.  Presently just working with RC postcard paper so 
extended toning and washes aren't a best choice although w/RC I assume longer 
washes aren't necessary anyway.  I'd just hate to send out a promo and have it 
turn brown.. i.e. brown in a bad way!

Correct... not all sites show a difference.
 
I think the FSA or thiourea dioxide toner is more for a special effect. Since 
you read about it in Tim's book, did you get the result you were after, even 
though it was slow in working?
I suspect you didn't, in which case you might need to spring for it, if that is 
really a look you are after....
