Nice selection of lampworking books. Great for the UK beaders!
It is 'dispatch', though, not despatch. ;-) ---------- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay & Justbeadsenguintrax 0 /O\ Nurturing doesn't end at birth: breastfeed, co-sleep, babywear.

Well, I'll be hornswoggled! Caught out by the old mis-spelling of dispatch
again, heh? The last time, I had to take Hughie Green and his TV quiz company to court (1969, I think it was) - it was a £16,000 question - a lot of money in those days.. This will mean nothing to those outside the UK, but those old enough to remember old Hughie, sly fox that he was, will surely smile.. :-) According to my New Oxford Dikshonary of English... (and I quote..) DESPATCH - variant spelling of DESPATCH. This spelling, of course, may differ from the spelling in the New York edition... Anyway, I digress. You are of course, correct, with your comment regarding the selection of bead books. I'm always on the lookout for more.. so if anyone out there can recommend any good bead books or indeed, DVD's/Videos.. I'd be pleased to hear from them.

However, once we figure out that we're all still divided by a common language you can turn your attention to your grocers' apostrophes in the DVD department! That would be many grocers who own many apostrophes, most of them misplaced! ;-D You are of course, correct, with your comment regarding the selection of bead books. I'm always on the lookout for more.. so if anyone out there can recommend any good bead books or indeed, DVD's/Videos.. I'd be pleased to hear from them. I'd suggest before adding more items you re-do your layout so that the text in it is readable as it seems to have slunk off to the right of your middle frame. And although it's lovely to have light text on a dark background for dramatic impact it's blinkin' hard to read. Most people find arty information nice but prefer straightforward and readable pages. As to the DVDs I can recommend any of Corina Tettinger's work. We own her stringer control DVD and think very highly of it. Videos may be more problematic as there is the same sort of translation problem with them as with the dictionaries, and also remember anyone wanting a DVD here in the UK will need to have a multi-region player for the US discs. In particular, I'd like to be able to simply rent them rather than purchase them but it doesn't seem possible here. Cheers and good luck with the books. I'm fascinated by a bookshop that sells Hot Heads as an extra bit of kit. -Su (I can use either dictionary, they both confuse me equally) |

I learned to spell in the US, then taught my kids to spell in Canada, and
now I'm back in the US, but I had to go through Canada to get here to Alaska. The one British spelling distinction I most appreciate, is cheque and check. I especially like it for record keeping when I check off my cheques. Tina "Su/Cutworks" wrote in message ... Derek wrote: Well, I'll be hornswoggled!
