Subject: Re: [motm] OT - Ridiculous prices on old books

I must agree with John....Brice Ward's book, while a good one to have in the collection, is no where near as useful as the Electronotes collection. The Preferred Circuit Collection alone is worth more than Ward's book IMHO.

But you need to be aware that, just because you send Bernie the $250.00, this doesn't mean you will receive everything that he promises! I ordered this collection in June, 1998 and what I have received so far has been great; but I am still waiting for several parts (mainly some Application Notes/Extended Service Notes from the late '70s) and Bernie shows no sign of sending them any time soon.

If there is anyone on the list who has the entire set and would be gratious enough to copy the parts I am missing, I would gladly pay any copying/shipping/inconvenience costs (please email me privately). Like I said, I've already paid for them...I'd like to eventually own them!

Just thought you should know. Thanks!

Unless you want that book for collectibility reasons,
you'd be much better off buying the entire Electronotes
collection from Bernie Hutchins. It has thousands of
pages of electronic music circuits for around $250.
