Just a note to say that 63 eBooks ticked in on Marcello Perathon's program
this week [usually a bit too high]--and a decent handful came in from
PG Australia.
Due to a seriously limited internet access the PG-News site will not be update for the next 3 weeks. My apologies to all for this and I thank you for your patience.

This shows 75 eBooks for the week, but rarely agrees with what Michael Cook's
more exhaustive research comes up with-- even NOT counting PG of Australian,
Europe and Canada, so I would take this with a grain of salt and wait until
the REAL editor of our Newsletter returns....
So here they are, after…err, several months, the final results from the ‘How many e-texts have you read from the PG archives?’ Poll. Even after all this time there are still only 50 votes cast. Top of the list is 200+ e-text read from the PG archives but the big surprise for me is that the 50-100 e-texts does not come in at a higher position.
Thanks to everyone who participated and…keep on reading.
