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 :)
