   religiously and look for new stuff to read from them. :-)

   It gets iffy, but the term jazz in print apparently doesn't show up   
   until around 1910.  There were things we'd definitely recognize today as   
   proto-jazz, but the music of that time was called either blues or   
   ragtime.  Ragtime sounds closer to the jazz we think of in the early   
   20th century (think any of Joplin's greats like The Entertainer or Maple   
   Leaf Rag).

   I'm noticing the lag time beginning to hit my favorite titles now.   
   Tokyopop seems to be having large lag times between volumes now.  And   
   I'm thinking Tokyopop may have abandoned the Slayers novels after the 6   
   volumes they licensed. *grumble*
