Links from Libraries
So, I thought it might be a wise thing to show curious readeres just how many other libraries and educational institutions were using and recommending this site. Once upon a time, this was possible -- a Google search for the site title actually ended. The good news is there are now so many links that I cannot possibly list them all. The bad news is there are so many links that I cannot possibly list them all. So, here is a taste of who out there has recommended my site (from about the first 20 pages of a Google search for No Flying No Tights.)
