References to both of them can be accessed from that Amazon book detail page under the section "Capitalized Phrases".Greg Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216403000599463072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1138381707038291882006-01-27T09:08:00.000-08:002006-01-27T09:08:00.000-08:00Greg, I'm really enjoying these series of blog ent...Greg, I'm really enjoying these series of blog entires on the early days of Amazon.
