I have looked on ABE, ALIBRIS but don't know where else to look? It's a book called Favorite Lullabies, published by Doeisha, no author or illustrator. I'm not asking you to do the research for me, just wondering your favorite research techniques?

I use the online service, A Seller Tool, to download Amazon sales information. I don't need to use my cell phone this way as I download every morning. It works well for us. The scanner and PDA cost us about $1,000. Yes, I use a Socket 7P Scanner with my HP iPac 2490 PDA. I use the online service, A Seller Tool, to download Amazon sales information.

So if we do another challenge, I think I will be more prepared next time.

I was involved with something similar to this six months ago. It started with a little over 150 people registering for it. Only 92 actually began the project. It lasted for one month and when it ended 29 days later (it was in February) only three people actually completed it - myself and two others. Gary H. Gary,
