I don't know where this will end up i.e. who will read this, but I am trying to contact the publisher of a phamplet by Douglas Robb called, "God's Zoo in the Sky." There is an excerpt there that I would like to use in a book I will be publishing. Would you happen to have the contact information (preferably an email address) for the publisher of this pamphlet.
