    Vortigern- First I must tell you my wife Azure has a major complaint. She can't believe that not one edition of any translation was available for sale at any local bookstore, large or small- not in the entire county.

    I called around and managed to find a single edition for sale at the Barnes & Noble in Bricktown, New Jersey. It isn't too far, but it is over two hours round trip. Of course we took the drive-

    (waving to those from the area)

    And along the way, we stopped at the biggest area mall. No book store there had a copy. One store, part of a large chain, had no history books available on topics earlier than "The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth". No pyramids. No Cleopatra. No Caesar. Nuthin.' Plenty of books about Jay-Lo. She exited the store with smoke coming out of her ears.

    No wonder she spends so much time at the library.

    She ordered some books in Bricktown. The only one they had available for purchase today was the one we took home- which is the same copy as yours.

    I wish I could find my old school copy, which was written in Latin.
