good for you, wheeler. I dont think i'm a deadbeat, either. Thing is, the bookstore near me only has one copy, and if i bought that one, someone else would be denied the opportunity. And i have a TOTALLY FREE (not so) ADVANCE COPY coming, any day now.

In August 2006 a sixty year old died of diabetes. He was living on his own in his home-town, the city of Cambridge, England. His name was Syd Barret.
