Happy 2003 Everyone! I realize I'm a few days late with that greeting, but I have been very busy lately. All of the updates from 2002 have now been archived. I hope your year started off better than mine. In case you are not a frequent visitor to the Templeton Gate Forums you may not be aware of the situation with my son (co-creator of this site) Alex, who was injured in an auto-pedestrian accident shortly before Christmas. Although his condition is not critical it definitely is serious, and he will be several months in recovery. Alex and I both want to thank all our friends for their kind words of concern and encouragement.

Collecting SF Someone new on the forums - tenavari - has sent me a very good article concerning "In Search of the Rare and Out of Print on the Internet," mainly dealing with eBay.com, but also covering other websites. He has also said he is working on other book reviews, which will be posted when I receive them.
