Jim, what Metro library would that be may I ask? I just asked our
local county referance librarian and they said that the only two
copies they could find were the British Library and the Kanagawa
University Library in Japan. After reading the table of contents on
the page you linked to, it sounds very interesting...if I can access
it relatively easily for free that is. Thanks.

I made the mistake the other day of going into a place called the Green Tea
house, in one of our local Asian areas, and asking for a cup of hot green
tea. I knew something was wrong when they didn't want to know what kind of
green tea I wanted. I got some sweet green concoction with little
resemblance to tea. It was the "green tea" stuff they use for bubble tea
heated in a microwave. They couldn't understand why I didn't want tapioca
in it. The kids around here love the stuff, but I just don't get it.

A bubble tea store opened not far from where we used to live. A friend of
mine was all excited to tell me about this new tea store since she knew I
liked tea. I never had the heart to tell her that I won't go near bubble
tea.

No need to use all those bucks - I am so lucky that I can borrow it
from our local library. Thanks for the info.

Oops I just searched and couldn't find it. Sorry. I must have been
thinking of "All About Tea" William Ukers 1935 or Tea and Coffee Trade
Journal which are available. I didn't think there was any integrated
system for searching all the public libraries in the US. What I've
done in the past is start with something like www.publiclibraries.com
and brute force each one. I just noticed Google is indexing some of
the libraries but I don't think available as a WWW search only the
respective library page. I used Google and found a library reference
for The Tea Industry in Denmark if that helps. My library card is
suppose to give me access to International libaries but said it was
invalid when I tried to use it. It's been awhile.
