The book being discussed today is still obtainable. Have never heard anyone say he regretted adding it to his library. I have had mine since it was published in 1978, hot off of the press and signed by the author. I cherish it. It is worn out, but the receipt is still in it. I won't say how much it was in 1978 :) >Subject: Re: LIFE BY THE ROARING ROANOKE >Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 08:19:23 -0600 >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4 > >JoLee > > >Thanks for the info.
