Thanks, Barry. I'm in the US so getting an interlibrary loan looks to be out of the question. However, all of the references offered are great places to start. If you responded to my "Question Quigley" e-mail address, that is a fake to protect me from spam. I will usually put my correct e-mail address in as a broken string at the end of the e-mail.
