Thanks all; didn't mean to hijack chazcole's thread. I was just happy to see that my old 16 has a sister out there!
When I was making the post and previewed it the thing was huge; would barely fit on the page. I thought that's the way it was gonna look; I even did it over 2 or 3 times and tried tests on other sites. So I added the apology; then when I made the post it went to an acceptable size. Computers are so confusing for old folks

I bought the whole series of those books when they came out; "The 50 Greatest Books of the Derrydale Press". It was a sporting Book-of-the-Month club; neat editions for those of us who can't afford the real deal. Pretty subjective as to what constitutes the 50 greatest I suppose; I wish they hadn't stopped at 50. They've exposed me to a number of writers I wouldn't have known about otherwise
