unpronounceable. Strictly a print word, not a spoken word.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Gonna have to change it if it's something we're going
to ask patrons. "Are you looking for that as <EM>pbook</EM> or an
<EM>e-book</EM>?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Unless we just start submitting notes to them. But they still
say, "What is a <EM>pbook</EM>? It says right here 'Are you looking for a
<EM>pbook</EM>?' What is a <EM>pbook</EM>?" (Reminds me of the "gub" gag in
Woody Allen's <STRONG>Take the Money and Run</STRONG>. Arguing with Allen as
bank robber who's submitted the teller a note, the teller and others are telling
him, "No, it says right here, 'I have a <EM>gub</EM>.' What is a
<EM>gub</EM>?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>A <EM>pbook</EM>? Or is it a silent "p", as in pneumonia?
What's the rule on "p before b"?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I found this sentence, for instance, quite interesting, "...print books
(hereafter referred to as pbooks when it is important to distinguish them from
