hi john,
thanks for yet another patient and helpfull reply to my newbie non-EE
questions :)
i 've been going through a lot of problems to get a copy of the allen
strange book since you first suggested that i should get it - i've
been in touch with several people at the publisher and with the
author himself, who has been very friendly.
i will post accurate, extensive information on how to order the book
once i have figured out the way to get it.
(i know tentochi posted on this subject before, but i'm not in the US
so his method won't work for me).
the book will probably cost me around 60 £ including shipping -
unfortunately it's only a photocopy made by the publisher and i've
been told the photo's are are unclear because of this.
original second editions (second hand ones) are going crazy prices -
i've seen one at 250 $.
it's easy to get an original first edition at an affordable price
(30 - 40 $), but the first edition is only 160 pages (instead of the
second one's 270 pages).
can anyone please comment on the additional differences between the
two editions of this book?
greetings,
gregory!
