[sdiy] Allen Strange book

[Tom Bugs]

  I still haven't moved to 'the full package' but picked up the two 
great volumes - Musical Engineer's & Builders Guide and Preferred Circuits
The shipping was kind of scary at first because Bernie has to used large 
boxes for the sending to UK and these are fixed price at $$$ (can't 
remember exactly what but was a fair whack). But! I wrote to Bernie to 
ask if there was any other option and he said that he would actually 
fill up the rest of the 'space' in the box with other issues of 
electronotes - ie a LOAD of material (he mentions this a bit on the 
shipping note page: 
http://electronotes.netfirms.com/foreign%20shipping.html).
Absolutely worth it.
