Well, I'd buy too - that reminds me - where can I find the most up to
date version of Tokana? Is that the one at David's website? How pricy
making books is, depends on what quality you want. Really good bound
(stitched signatures) stuff, you can forget immediately. Perfect bound
books you can probably forget with some regrets. But glue-and-linen
bound, or plastic-comb bound books are easy to produce - it would take
about 5 cts a page, in the Netherlands. Producing a CD-Rom with html
or PDF versions of a lot of grammars doesn't cost more than about
$1.50, for the whole thing.

Yes, I'd like an even better index of conlang pages, too. I'm not overly
fond of webrings, I like to have some index of everything available. I've
met webrings with three sites before...
