--And I hear what YOU are saying, my sympathy sharpened by my own hellish week of run-up to End Of Fiscal. I've looked inside your html and I am utterly impressed. The addition of new issues is certainly my priority. I just had to ask.

PS: Stay away from that cabin on the coast until the tsunami(s) have settled down! We don't exactly have an understudy for you, waiting in the wings, do we?

I hear what you're saying. The "New from" price is mandated by Amazon. There's nothing to stop me adding Amazon's own price, availability etc ... except space. Maybe all this could be added in some sort of pop-up window.

The HTML for this site is pretty creaky and way overdue for a complete rewrite. Finding the time and motivation is the issue. There's continuous additions/updates to the data on this site plus maintenance etc that maybe people aren't aware of. A month in a cabin by the coast is what I need!

Just curious to know if you are (still) a one-man band or do you have staff to help go forward?

I just use google image search until I find a picture that is the proper size. This pic happened to be on the first page of choices.

Staff? That's a good one. Apart from the site reviewers (who work independently) and Polly who helped out with the Works database, there's just me I'm afraid.

I am shocked to hear that. I thought you were some well staffed, mega corporation down there. Seriously, it is amazing what you have done here on a shoestring.

And the FAQ author, of course.

Yes, of course.

I should also thank those who have contributed reviews, recommendations etc without which it would all be just data.

And we need to thank you for giving us a place to spread our thoughts, beliefs, and general paranoia. You are a good man!
