Judson, 4th ed., 1912.<br />I've just scrolled through a bit of it so far, it's several hundred pages...but I don't know what we did before the internet and Google either. I know I panic when I lose my cable connection for any reason.

I love stuff like that, too, and I love making little discoveries on the net. How did we ever live without it?!<br /><br />And I really hope you enjoy Howard's book.

I check in there all the time for film info...this is the first time I've seen that feature that allows playing more than just preview clips. Finally a useful application...I'll be crazy searching for old films now.
