Thank you for the note. I know exactly what you mean--where does a person find the time to upload everything? I'm not finished myself, either. You do have quite an interesting collection. :)

I got my cute little Dalek from http://leelakin.livejournal.com
I have several copies of Doom to Dawn that I obtained from a bookstore liquidation. Several Amazon sellers have the book, I assume from similar circumstances. It even has a sales ranking, which means at least one copy was bought there. I've yet to read it, but I hope I find time to -- it looks interesting. That bookstore purchase of mine included no small number of titles of Judaica.
Nice to "meet" you :) I don't belong to that many groups (compared to some, anyway) and most of them are very quiet. TTFN --Jane
