Hey Cindy and everyone else,

So, I have been given some positivity on what is normally the worst day of my week. I went to Michael Laimo's site, e-mailed him with my request for specific pages ... and had the whole chapter in my inbox when I got home from work.

Cindy, great idea! It's proof that at least some of these folks will write back. Very neat.

Scott

This is very interesting. None of my 3 library systems
has  that book. Not only that, but none  has any book
by that author -- but I did some googling and his last
book has just been nominated for the Bram Stoker
award. You'd think his books would be in the library.
But I see that Demonology was just  published in April
and sent to bookstores in May, so maybe it will get to
the libraries.

Anyway, I'm sorry I can't help you, Scott. Maybe you
could e-mail the author. On his site
(http://www.laimo.com)  he has his e-mail address
(Michael@xxxxxxxxx) and says he'd like to hear from
people. Maybe he'd send you the missing pages. Maybe
if he learns about bookshare he'd be willing to donate
copies of all his books.

Cindy,

If you have a chance to check your local library,
the book is the
Demonologist by Michael Laimo.  If we can work it
out I'd prefer you scan
the offending pages (132-137) and send them to me.
This is the paperback
edition, just released this year.

Or, do you think I could try sending you images of
the pages to see whether
you can translate them?
