A chance to BE!!! WOW!!! If I had the chance to be a book I think
I would
be Friedrich Schleiermacher's "The Christian Faith". ;-)

Just kidding.

How much do they want for it? Beware of etymological dictionaries-
they can
be a bit misleading simply because the root meaning of a word is not
necessarily the way a word is used in a text. Meaning is assigned
by
context, not etymology.

Jim
