Dear Writer, You have really "hit the nail on the head". Without a fairly well-read population, a society may decay very fast. Because I left Nigeria long ago, I donot know the condition of our libraries at home. For obvious reasons, I have lowered my expectations of the typical Nigerian Library. If any one is ready to pay the luggage fees for used books(the contents and conditions are prime) please inform me at mattaoftime@yahoo.com. I will buy some books for Nigeria. Yrs Phillip Kientimi Owi
