Some advice to the person with the ethical dilemma concerning The Juggling Book, by Carlo, and the bureaucracy of libraries: Nowadays, Carlo's book really isn't very good compared to other offerings. It doesn't have enough pictures, and is rather out of date. So, it is of little use to most non-jugglers. The only reason a juggler would want it (and I presume the reason you want it) is that it is an interesting collectible. I suggest that you help out the non-jugglers of the world by using the libraries bureaucracy to your advantage. STEAL the book. The library will never know. In return, donate a new copy of The Complete Juggler (or some similar text) to the library (they of course, prefer hardcovers... good luck). I think that in this case the ends justify the means. In the end, you will have the book you want for your collection, the library will have a brand-new, up-to-date, much-better-than-Carlo book, and you will save a few souls from Carlo's confusing text, making it easier for them to learn juggling. It is always easier to apologize than to ask permission. -------------------------------- Jesse Schell jscn@andrew.cmu.edu Information Networking Institute Carnegie Mellon University --------------------------------
