Hey... I gots my ownself 25 years yet before I have to face the LaCoursian
"millionaire or putz" test. While I'm not much of a betting man, if left to
my own devices, I'd bet on "putz."

Well I'm a bit closer to that test, and I'm pretty sure I won't be a
millionaire (well, unless you mean have I earned a million dollars in my
lifetime, in which case ... oh, nevermind ... )

There are many problems with the library here ("state" school and all) but I
gotta say all in all, the place works well. The ILL guy here is a magician.
I have the entire run (75 years) of an obscure journal in my carrel. Only
two libraries in the world have the entire run, and one of them ended up in
my carrel on a full-year loan. Magic, I tell ya. I owe that guy a bottle of
good booze.

Being that he's a liberrian, "good" may not be a pre-requisite. In
fact, he likely wouldn't know the difference.

...who must admit that the overwhelming lack of public interest in
_International Bookbinder_ *may* have had something to do with UW Madison's
generosity.

Oooooh ... I just *have* to hear why you (or anyone else, for that
matter) need access to 75 years of _IB_.
