Okay. I have no idea which of my multitude of Lazurus Long books to
find it and was too lazy to do so and instead drew it from a memory
that, after two years of the most intesive schooling I've ever
experienced, is shot if it doesn't have to do with shooting a six view
t-spine. I'll correct it in a second.

Since you are also a fan, I just found out that "Time for the Stars"
is back in print. This is the first SF book I read and got me into
reading so seriously that I'm surrounded by over 3000 volumes. Of
course, Carol helps that number. Anyone want an autographed copy of
"Finding Mr. Right"? I have two, since the author is a personal
firend and Corgi owner. Want a Sandra Brown book? I know them (they
were news and weatherchick in Tyler befoe they got married and I threw
their paper).

There are a number of Heinlein's out-of-print books that are coming
out in the next two years.
