Hehe, thanks a lot for the reminding!...  I really did forget there was 
someone that designed the fjords of Norway!

Oh yes it is!  Though, I still haven't read it completely...  I only 
bought the two first book of this trilogy of four, and then the edition 
disappeared so I cannot complete my collection of the four books.

The collection I was buying had a nice image design; you can put the 
four books to form a square and there you see a picture in the middle, 
you can switch the books to see a different picture representing the 
four books, I remember one was the Heart of Gold, another was a yellow 
fish (probably a babel fish).

Since I got a little income to spend, I'll check with the ISDN number to 
see if I can get the two others of the same collection!

Thanks and see you in another galaxy!
