I've been wanting to add a copy of this book to my colection and now there
is one on EBAY. I have a feeling that the bidding will get out of hand for
it since it is NOS . Does anyone have a spare copy? In any event, somebody
on this list may be wanting it in this condition so here's the EBAY
listing:
