Miracles of webbery: In our era in cyberspace, we have met net-browsing bibliophiles from 22 countries on five continents. Moreover, within 15 hours of one update, a reader in Singapore had not only spotted a broken link but sent corrected coding! Another reader realized that a 1514 book was appearing in an "incunables" section, thanks to a file-name mix-up, and e-mailed notice of that lapse. ALL readers are welcome here, and all are urged to do as the readers applauded did — truly, we get by with a little help from our friends!
