Hi Ron - when your book came out it was ordered by our local library here
in South Australia. Probably prompted by local indoor guru the late Max
Starick.
I borrowed it so many times back in the day, it was falling apart, and the
librarian would look at me with concern and say 'do you know you have
borrowed this one before?'.
When the library's copy was stolen (not by me) I bought my own. I have had
to order replacement copies over the years. I find that even close friends
won't return them...
And that's ok with me as long as they go ahead and build one of the plans.
cheers
Tim
