   A printed book is always good enough. Would be for Wikipedia, and sure   
   is for me.   
      
   (Regarding the differences to the website that I found: Your book even   
   explains why there would be a "y" (Spanish "and") between Ruiz and   
   Picasso. And the other differences look like typos that have crept in   
   along the way, somwhere between a real source and this lehrerweb.at site.)   
      
   No offense intended.
