Hi,  I am new and not really skilled in any of this but I do have a =
suggestion to make.  After watching my 85 year old mother surf the net I
=
have noticed that she has an awful time controlling the mouse arrow.  =
Her hands shake and her vision isn't that good.  On your site you have =
small back and forward arrows and your text for the books is very close
=
together.  My mother would have a very hard time hitting these targets. 
=
She would get frustraited and give up and leave the site.   If the area
=
of contact was larger for the arrows and such it would make it much =
easier for the elderly to use.  As your target audience are those with =
money and time to do antique hunting, you need to consider this age =
group.  I also agree that a medium size thumbnail picture would be =
easier and more attracting to someone with aging eyes.  I hope my =
comments are not out of line.  I am a first time poster to this group.
