It is so easy to do lookup's for other's , I have done this myself . BUT, after I started writing my own books I had no idea the work and the hours you put into such a project. So I try and respect the folks who provide these wonderful books about our communities, I buy the books. Most folks make no money but when folks start copying their work , it makes it even worse. I would have never known just how important this is until I did my own book and I made about 6 cent an hour. PLEASE- I didn't do this for a discussion group, just a friendly reminder. Thanks and have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
