OK, who did it........

I received Jim Enger's "The Incompleat Angler - A Fly Fishing Odyssey" in the
mail today. No one in my family or my local fly fishing (Lakewood) friends
sent it, so it's gotta be someone on ROFF.

Who ever you are, thank you. I am familiar with Enger's writing in "Fly Rod and
Reel", and "Fly Fisherman". I will enjoy this read, so, again, thank you
whomever you are.

Maybe we have a book fairy on ROFF. Let's see, my dream book would be
Appalachia on Our Minds by Henry Shapiro....

Dutch, 1675.

We've got an 18th century German version of the Biblia Naturae (Bibel der
Natur), Wolfgang, but I can't send it to you. :-) You're welcome to stop on
your way to Penns and have a look though.

Here's a neat quote from the Dictionary of Scientific Biography (article
author Mary P. Winsor): "Some biographers describe Swammerdam as a mystic,
for he was a follower of a woman who purportedly had spoken with God, and he
saw in the short flight of the mayfly an image of man's own brief
existence."
