A book that Judy S and I are looking for and can't find is
Midnight Moon by Dorothy Lyons.
Shelley L. Rhodes, VRT

Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to
the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where
it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with
judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words
of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the
situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics (1887-1985)

If you can find any of these G.A. Henty books that are cheap and
someone is willing to scan them, I think they'd be good additions to the
collection. It's more likely that they'd be found at a garage sale rf flea
market or used-book shops.

Dear Booksharian Friends,
In a couple of weeks Akron will have an antiquarian book fair with
over 60 dealers. Often these books, many of which are rare collector's items,
are too expensive for our Volunteer budgets, but you never know what perfectly
priced treasure is there.
I haven't saved all of the exchanges about series or authors some of
you are trying to cover. If you are looking for any books, write to me off list
with the book name and author and the highest price you'll pay. If I find what
you're looking for I'll buy it and the postage to send it to you will be my
contribution.
I could also call you on my cell before buying anything for you, and,
you can pay me after you get the book.
I'm not sure what I'll be looking for; probably something Irish,
Scottish, Welsh or poetry. The fun is in the search.
Always with love,
Lissi
