Hi
Jim,
Wow--the new website! Gorgeous! (But if I'm "brilliant beyond belief"--holy crap!--I better start making something of myself...again! You're too kind, my beloved pal...thanks for your belief, for sure.) Bill Zehme "A web oasis of solid information and wit." Rick Kogan, host of WGN Radio's (www.wgn.com) The Sunday Papers and author of Everybody Pays (Penquin/Putnam) and America's Mom (William Morrow)

The research work I provide is in addition to the author's own collection and is supplemental in nature. The authors are their own best researcher and I take great pride in assisting them and sometimes surprising them. The completed book is their work alone. ~ Jim
