Gessler was bought out by Q Publishing in England who operated them for awhile, then shut them down - I assume Q is still around. Also, there is a company called "Educational Video Network" that has a video we sell called "Spanish TV Commercials" - 29 minute video in Spanish from 1995. \\\|/// (ô ô) +---oOO-----(_)-----------------+ | | Cindy Shapiro Tracy | President | World of Reading, Ltd. | P.O.
