THANK YOU!  I did see that title listed.  I'll log on right
now and request it.  

Done.  Wow, pretty pathetic choice of sci-fi.  There was
only one copy and in a branch that I don't go to.  I'll have
to wait for them to send it to my branch.  While I was there
I requested The Nine Billion Names of God - the best short
stories of Arthur C. Clarke.  Only one copy of that too, in
the same branch.
