Long walk for Rob, I'm suspecting, if that pesky Pacific Ocean is still 
there. I'd appreciate any web-versions of the intro as well, being both 
unable to get one locally and yes, a cheap-ass to boot (not literally).

I called a few bookstores yesterday (including local franchises of US 
multinational ones) and got nothing resembling a positive response. Probably 
wondered why I didn't just rent the movie.
