excellent, thorough, and worthy of standing alone as its own publication. cheers!

lovely work.

Thank you! That is a great help in my search.

Wow, I am very impressed with the amount of research and detail
involved in the answer to my question.  Thank you so much,
Chromedome!!  I am looking forward to trying this recipe now.

This was a stupendous answer. Thank you.

If you want, I'd be happy to send you my completed charts.

Thanks for the wealth of suggestions, Chromedome! We have the
Winnie-the-Pooh books (which I love, even if my son hasn't really
taken to them yet), and my son loves the movie version of Babar. He
hasn't responded very enthusiastically to The Snowy Day or Curious
George, but he does like Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (and all
things related to tractors and construction equipment). This latter
book, along with a few others you've mentioned, can be found in The
20th Century Children's Book Treasury (selected by Janet Schulman).
I've thorougly enjoyed the Foundation Trilogy (actually, all 10 books
in that series -- Foundation's Edge by Asimov is the best in my
opinion), and grew up reading lots of Larry Niven's Known Space series
(my favorites were Protector, World of Ptavvs, and A Gift from Earth).
I haven't read Dune yet (I've seen both movie versions), but eagerly
look forward to reading the actual book sometime (along with Ender's
Game by Orson Scott Card). One thing you didn't mention, that
certainly was a huge factor in my development as a reader, was comic
books. In particular, I loved (and still love) the Donald Duck and
Uncle Scrooge comics done by Carl Barks (and collected in a few
gorgeous bound volumes). I'm not sure about the state of comic books
these days, but I remember loving to read Spider-Man, the X-Men, the
Fantastic Four, and the Metal Men, among others. I appreciate and
agree with many of your personal convictions (e.g., not "forcing" kids
to read when they don't want to). I look forward to examining your
suggestions more closely, as well as the links you've provided.
Hopefully many other people will add their comments about both your
suggestions and their favorites that aren't listed here.

If you do turn up a commercial one that appears to substantially match
the Rex Stout/Nero Wolfe/Fritz recipe (which as I remember had NOTHING
except the meat and bones) please let me know.  Otherwise enough is
enough and thanks - sdf.

perfect. Exactly what I needed; timely and actionable. Walked right
out the door to Radioshack, bought what I needed, and handed it to my
electricians!

This was pretty much a troll to test the Google Answers waters, and to
get a bit of sympathy for my bleeding fingers. Since I priced it so
pathetically low, I didn't expect anything beyond a bunch of readers
telling me not to peel the thing in the first place. Chromedome's
answer was excellent, and included some very welcome tips that I
didn't ask for.

Very excellent information, which I will find quite useful. A lot of
research went into this effort. It is greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

Excellent answer, many thanks Chromedome!

GREAT ANSWER- I am very pleased that you picked up this question. This
is thorough research. I appreciate the extra effort. THANK YOU.

Good answer keep it up, if possible why don't u give me your personal
email id, mine, is ramdullare@hotmail.com.
thanks a lot.

An EXEMPLARY EFFORT and just the answer that I was looking for. Having
attempted this research myself and only obtaining meager results I
turned to good ol' Google Answers trusting that some dedicated
researcher would do better. And GA did it again! THANK YOU
chromedome-ga. Wish I could give you six stars.

Wow - great answer! I am particularly impressed with the thuroughness
of this response given the meager pricing of my question. Truly
excellent. Thanks!

(with this i am one step further in my journey towards coffee-geekdom
like Chromedome ;-)

This is simply exceptional. The level of thoughtfulness, of
well-roundedness are astonishing. The answers to a complex and many
faceted question have depth and dimension well beyond expectations.
I'm a convert.  You're going to put my researcher out of work.
Which is okay -- I like being in control

thanks for your very helpful response!

very good answers, lots of information

Chromedome was correct and picked up my typo on Neo-Nazism too. Very
informative and I will be renting the video tonight.

Spent a lot of time and tried to estimate data that was difficult to
obtain. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making a tremendous effort on a difficult
question. Your answer was just what I needed and more than I
expected!!

Good answer, most things I already knew, but a good summary.

I posted a set of difficult questions that I had not been able to
answer over the past few weeks for a market research project I am
working on.  Chromedome, while not able to give me all the data I was
looking for (since it probably does not exist) was able to provide me
with some good information and several leads to follow.  Thank you for
all the time you put into this search.

Maybe since I piqued the researchers interest so-o-much I should get
paid! Just kidding. Really great answers.I must admit I'm a bit over
my head re: internet use- i have NO savy. I'm totally "diferently
abled" . Great response though-thanks!

Thanks for the good info.  I had found most of the sites you listed. 
I had not found e-shop4u.  I will likely order from them barring any
problems.

Brilliant! And so quick! I would actually prefer to give you 20 Stars
but I don't know how. Perhaps you can help me?

Overall a good answer for only $3.50.  Would have liked some links to
some of the options but for the money i paid i can't complain.

Well, it was a very thorough response, and I did the things you
suggested, but in the end, I'm SOOL. It's my own fault I no longer
have the paperwork or warranty info, so short of a miracle, it looks
like I'm left to buy a new phone--unless someone else has another
suggestion, but it doesn't seem like that's going to be the case.
There are no phone repair technicians out there?
