I didn't understand this comment, but having experienced that situation 
before once or twice I just waited for enlightenment, which duly arrived: 
not only can one get the series for about $45 on Amazon, one can read it 
on a donate-if-you-like-this basis from the series site.  I imagine each 
of us was unaware of the option the other used.

Another consideration is the wrenching nature of some or perhaps more like 
all of the material.
