Hit: Patterning Books

[Tammi Mitchell <mitchelt@PTA6000.PLD.COM>]

I had to send my responses in two message because my server was out of
room for one, long, temporary file.  I will continue to post any titles
that are different from these.
Thank you all, again, very much.

> down the road".  It's one of my favorites.
