I'm not sure when I want to introduce this book. I have alot of material on all the subjects here, but I don't have the time right now to pull it all together. This will be, I think, a very big book, and I don't want to enter into it lightly. --Whiteknight(talk) (projects) 01:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Introduction edit
