If anyone's interested :P
I see where you can buy this litter box liner from Amazon for $23.95 to $79.60.

But if you are willing to wait until next year the paperback edition will be only $11.20 and eligible for free shipping.

I read the reviews, trying to figure out why it got 3.5 out of a possible 5 stars. The reviewers, for the most part (including the Amazon editorial review writer), are about as clueless as the author.

BTW, googling "Lawrence E. Joseph" reveals a number of self-referential sites. His qualifications? The cite at his own site says he was the "chairman of an advanced plasma physics research and development company in Albuquerque, New Mexico" whereas the bio at various booksellers says he is "chairman of the board of New Mexico–based Aerospace Consulting Corporation." Now, in engineering circles, "doing consulting" is usually code for "unemployed". Interesting that when one visits the Aerospace Consulting Corporation site, one finds a marginal webpage that apparently hasn't been updated since October 18, 2005.

Where'd I put that baking soda?
