Holy smokes! I've never seen such a young John Barrymore before! Sing it with me, "I love technology..." ;)

Oops. Sorry not John, Lionel. :/ I always get those two mixed up.

I followed your link to google books but there was no online viewing of the book allowed. Guess I'll have to wait for your posted excerpts. *sigh*

Daniel, not sure what the issue is for you as the book is completely available to me. Are you outside the U.S.? Does Google do the same thing Yahoo does - or used to - where they would restrict some videos to non-U.S. residents?

Daniel Anuchan at 2012-03-12 00:46:11:

I think you're right--I'm out of the US and it says "not available in your country". I've had this problem with videos before, but this is the first time I've seen it in Google Books.

I had the same problem. I clicked on the link and it showed the title and book cover but there was no way to read it.
