If it was a ticket to a tour of RSR Performance - it would be well spent

OK, so those that own (or possess) a copy , is there any worthy information worth parting, or rather contributing here in respect of copyright laws

, anything on Safari EA81, twin ports etc.....

Googling the book also comes up with previous ebay listings $15 plus postage, and no one has suggested I cannot add up - thanks

I sold a couple on ebay last year for about $15 each - about what they were in the day.

As for the ebay seller - 'Tell him he's dreaming'

So those of you who have a copy, is it possible to scan it to a .pdf file so we can all have a read?

steptoe · Post by **steptoe** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 7:51 am

What? Scan a copy to pdf while the authors are still alive!!
