 From our friend at the Wall Street Journal, Friday, December 17, 2004 ...

   "...Brokers say that about 400 islands are up for sale across the
world at any given time. (There are 500,000 to 600,000 islands in
existence, says Chris Mayda, professor of geography and geology at
Eastern Michigan.)..."
