While browsing a local used book store, I ran across this book (pictured below). And then I thought to myself, "Don't you just hate it when the publisher spells your name wrong?"

I got a good chuckle out of it at least...

Hey, it's July now, isn't it. I was out of the country most of May adopting, and then getting settled most of June (spent all of last week and more in the hospital for my new daughter's heart surgery, back home and doing well now) and everyone else seems to be on summer break...

It surely was a quiet June! How about this - any regular (someone who's posted before) who replies here in the next week or so that they are interested, I will send them a couple of the vintage buttons. They're fun!

Given all of the various categories on TCG, with various notification methods (email, RSS, etc.), would you like to also have an email newsletter sent out every month or so?

It would be sent to the email address you have on file, and there is a method to opt out in your user profile already.

To Dior - My thanks for writing about the Australian eBay calendar listing. I had NOT seen that one before! As the seller has it listed for sale only to Australia, I have written seeking permission. If not, I have several close friends down under that would get it for me.

To Jeremy - Thanks for the comments on the views. OK, I'm very much into collecting these so my visits (as few as they are and then only to post or reply posts) are understandable. But who are all of the others?? I'm beginning to realize (as the result of Dior's post and an email that I received from another acquaintance who's much into the boxed sets) that others continue to support my interest. To which I must say, "Thanx and a tip o' the mug to ye!"

Best to all.

Hi Parmastahir,

since you asked (about number of views)...

with 72 replies, that works out to a bit more than 50 unique people viewing the thread each time a reply is posted. I think we get more unique viewers on the thread than that (most don't come back every post of course). I also think bots (like google) are not counted but I have to check that again sometime.

The site is up to about 500 unique visitors per day already, and that is without a books section! (Hard at work at that now...)

And just about to reach 2000 pages in the Guide section, too.
