We are stuck on dial-up, and it takes many hours for me to load enough of a Google book to see whether it's suitable or not. This manual on gerontology looked interesting, but I cannot find any publication date in what I have been able to see so far:

http://books.google.com/books?id=Ed-pXsTAFp0C&pg=PA1113&lpg=PA1113&dq=cacochimia&source=web&ots=aHoOT74Lam&sig=WgeymX1rD2Ujr-F2ymtdXoI5Y6U#PPA17,M1

Can anyone whose computer has reached the 21st century enlighten me?

Thank you all...

I'm on dialup too, at 31,200 bps, but I just load google books a page at a time in basic html. From the table of contents, it looked like there was basic background information in the introduction. Page twelve indicates Zerbi's Gerontocomia was published in 1489.

Becky,

If you go to this link http://worldcat.org/wcpa/oclc/18763544 which is located on the link for the Google Book Search in your original post, you can put in your ZIP and it will give you the closest library to you that has it. There are ten copies within 51 miles of my house.

Nothing within 100 miles of me. I didn't expect there would be.
It's so frustrating to now the whole world's out there, and free wireless is a couple of miles away, but I can't use it. DH broe the wireless access on this laptop a couple of days after I got it.
