I was in Montreal last week and got some posters - HoL, RUTH, 9th wave!!, and promos for RUTH and Cloudbusting. All except RUTH were $1!!! I picked up the Visual Doc for $30 canadian (did I get ripped off?) I also saw Kate Bush Complete the transcriptions to all her songs, but it was WAY too expensive, same goes for some issues of homeground. Vermolors(sp?) book - the one with the great picture of Kate draped in ivy, was there for $20, but I had been warned about it and didn't get it, although I did look through it. What else...there were a few other huge posters - Babooshka outfit, leotard (B&W). I didn't get them because they would have dominated my room which has very little wall space. I haven't had a chance to read the Visual Doc., but 3 things annoy me about it. 1) The choice of cover photo - it isn't a very good picture of her - candid photography (she still looks pretty good, but there are so many others which are much better. 2) The pictures are not chronologically arranged (you can tell the approx yr for most of them, but it is an annoyance. 3) Half of the photos don't have a caption. Hopefully the text will make up for this... Anyway - Montreal is a cool place to visit - oh I also saw A Bird in the Hand for $30. mike -- Michael Graham | Baldrick, you wouldn't know a subtle plan if it graham@ug.cs.dal.ca | painted itself purple and danced naked on top of mgraham@ac.dal.ca | a piano singing 'Subtle Plans are Here Again'! - Black Adder.
