<br/>
the encyclopedia of international boundaries<br/>
by gideon biger<br/>
in collaboration with the international boundaries research unit<br/>
university of durham england<br/>
publisher facts on file<br/>
jerusalem 1995<br/>
125 simoleons at amazon<br/>
<br/>
i confess it is wonderful to find even my gargantuan appetite surfeited by<br/>
this book<br/>
& of course you are entirely welcome to share in the banquet<br/>
especially until next monday when i must return it<br/>
tho it will remain in easy reach for me & therefore us<br/>
in the school you may recall a bridge above west cornwall<br/>
<br/>
but this feasting is after all just the continuation of the celebration we<br/>
began last week at bedenl or tp belgium germany holland upon seeing your<br/>
personal photo & therefore attaining our collective firsthand<br/>
quintipopperdom there<br/>
<br/>
& to further enhance this milestone & its multipoint<br/>
let me add now from memory something gideon only partly confirms<br/>
which is that the present bedenl point was between 1919 & 1922 actually a<br/>
trinational quadripoint with a binational bede neutral zone<br/>
& the conjunction as a whole was therefore topologically identical to the<br/>
other suspected similarly defunct example which arif is on the track of at<br/>
present day tp iraq kuwait saudi arabia<br/>
<br/>
& well<br/>
since i cant stop<br/>
& while i have the good book open anyway<br/>
let me answer the questions i imagine you have about denmark<br/>
<br/>
first gideon obviously has the very highest regard for denmark because<br/>
after expressly excluding maritime boundaries from the scope of his work he<br/>
quite inexplicably proceeds to give all of denmarks maritime boundaries<br/>
<br/>
you go figure it<br/>
<br/>
then his photo selection for denmark was also quite extraordinary<br/>
featuring basically not 1 but 2 enchanted bikepath crossings of dedk<br/>
plus a pretty girl & large rock<br/>
& overall a great atmospheric quality reminiscent of your bedelu photos &<br/>
report<br/>
which i am glad to mention again here also because i just realized that<br/>
bedelu is the coterminal point of bedenl along the bede line<br/>
& so we are marking here our first achievement of a matched pair of tps as well<br/>
<br/>
gideon gives lots of neat historical data which you probably know too<br/>
like the fact that danish was spoken in parts of england until the 12th century<br/>
etc<br/>
etc<br/>
but i will not ramble unless you ask<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
for myself<br/>
with more of a pointers than a bounders appetite<br/>
frankly i would rather pump the money into the gas tank<br/>
or better yet into the gcebe<br/>
since i know firsthand that brownlies african & probably the other regional<br/>
bibles also contain more detailed info about the tps themselves than gideon<br/>
generally does<br/>
just because they are bound to include the original documents & to be<br/>
generally more punctilious by design<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
thanx again<br/>
& share the abundance however you like<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
where to next<br/>
