I ran across the BM book in my local library (CA at the time) and checked it out to do balloons for my children. Armed with his book, a bag of 260Qs, and the ability to overcome a popping frustration, I learned to twist. Still my favorite book and Pioneer's basic balloon kit with a reduced version of Marvin Hardy's book included is still the recommended choice by the local store for people getting started. Now that Marvin and I are in the same state I am just going to have to get over the pass to meet him sometime. Norm -------------------------- Norm Carpenter norm@mail.spk.olivetti.com
