Therefore, to make use of the above book references, append a "#" and each two letter code to the Bibliography page URL. For the above references, http://www.folklib.net/index/discog/bibliog.shtml#dg http://www.folklib.net/index/discog/bibliog.shtml#fo http://www.folklib.net/index/discog/bibliog.shtml#gl will link you to the bibliographical information about each book where the information for Bryan Adams can be found on the page listed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Birth Death Birthplace (see #G Name Source(s) mm-dd-yyyy mm-dd-yyyy for U.S. state codes) ---------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------------------- RA - |top/bottom of page|All "R" artists/groups|Copyright Notice| ~R.
