Some titles were: Joy Luck Club, Agatha Christie novels, Danielle Steel novels, Stephen King Books, and others. It was a very popular display! ******************************************************************** Angela Y Northern MLS Graduate Student IUPUI - Indianapolis, IN anorther@seidata.com ***A real friend is one who walks in when the rest to the world walks out*** ******************************************************************** =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
