What books might those be?  I've been trying to find a decent book on
phonology (the ones I have on phonetics are more than sufficient for my
current purposes; I'm afraid I fall asleep looking at staticky-seeming
pictures and reading about vowel formants, alas) and the Cornell
bookstore has such a pitiably inadequate section...<sigh>  I did try the
library, but I must not have looked in the right places or something,
because I wasn't happy with the ones I did find.
