  What's the Bay Area NPO that sends art-deco return-address stamps?

  I don't know who is sending out stamps like that (park service, perhaps?) but I do know who designed them http://www.michaelschwab.com/portfolio/posters/posters.html

  What is the easiest way to find books that are out-of-print?

  I'm not sure what sort of out-of-print books you are looking for, and whether you want to own them or read them, but http://www.octavo.com/ is an interesting compendium of some very rare books, scanned and in PDF... a pet project of John Warnock, previous CEO of Adobe, and book collector. Not vast, and not all that easy to read... but pretty.

  Why do we use the letter 'g' for a 'j' sound?

  I actually just read something about this... apparently "j" and "u" are new letters so, it would appear we are actually using the letter "j" for a "g" sound.I believe j was derived from "i".
