A serious question

Yep; you thought you'd never see the day, but...

Anyone know any reputable bookstores that sell scripts? Be they second-hand or new, I'd like to compile a list of shops to peruse to build up a library of my very own.

Any good pointers?

(ps: Jen and Davis think this should have gone on the Bulletin Board. Maybe they be right, but I think this one gets more action...)

Another serious question

Where will it end, you cry???

One thing I've noticed over many years is the nullifying frequency with which some shows are done and re-done in a short period of time.

Whilst not accusing anyone of collusion or show-poaching, it DOES get boring for an audience member to hear of the same old tired shows being produced yet again.

Is there a way a list (or some other such means) can be made available to clubs around the traps as to which shows have been forwarded as submissions? This will at least let fellow groups know that their idea is shared by another group- it must surely be an annoyance to find the show you've paid for the rights for is being done six months later by another group.

I understand completely that obviously the ITA can't police or dictate what gets done by whom (well, D'UHHHH!)- but by the same token, can not the ITA at least advise groups of the possiblilty of duplication when it arises?
