so it is probaly OK to use for your art.

Anyone know what kind of book this is?
It looks like English/German dictionary??

I have had it in my file for 3 years, and have 
no clue where I got it, except I know it was free from someone's site.
So, I guess go ahead, and if whoever I originally got it from sees it
please let me know it is yours.
thanks

For bunches of other wonderful whites go over to 

Kathleen's
