The last article on the list is on the web, because the publication is an academic journal. I have not looked at the site, so I don't know if he needs to pay a subscription fee. The article before that is from a magazine. That could be on the web too, but most of the others are books. I don't...

No, all the books in the list were published after 1982.

Posthumously, after you've been killed by friendly fire:D

Maybe it's just my suspicious mind but, what about the university library? I would understand if he wanted the books because of a personal interest but, if he is doing a course, the books would either be recommended books for the taught courses -in which case they have to be available- or needed...

I don't think it's a question of egos and people don't pick on new comers in general, only on those newbies who joined only to promote their books. If you read the link Stewart provided on self-promotion mistakes, you will understand why. Promoting your own book in a forum is fine; joining the...

Hi, Flynnlee. Could you tell as a little bit more about your problems with Great Expectations?

Happy birthday!
