Theos-Talk Archives (March 2011 Message tt00030)

Thanks. Me too have acquired many hard copy books of several authors and try
to read them with an open mind in the hope they may throw light on topics of
interest.

Of late, when I buy a book, I try to get an electronic copy and if
unavailable, I scan the book for my use; it is quick and easy.
