Fantastic book, I can recommend it to anyone who wants to find out the 
history of the company in the 80's...

It would be great if one of the owners of this book could scan it and
make into a PDF file so we all could read it!!!

If you are willing to pay for the legeal costs go for it

But I  do think that the publishers might just have something to say about that

A couple of months ago I asked Bob Henrit (the author) if he would mind if I provide the book as a PDF link on my website for free. He preferred to sell it (for an unknown amount of money) although I expected the sales to be more than moderate. So I rejected this idea because I don't want to do any commercial things with my site. But Bob Henrit is the originator of this book and I absolutely respect his decision: No PDF for free

He is right. Not all things can be for free. Obviously the man put a lot
off effort in his book, and he should get paid (like all artists/musicians/inventors
etc) A woodcrafts man get paid for the sofa he builds, you can't take it
for free "cause he likes what he does". In that way things keep their value,
not money wise, but emotionally.

Hi - I was not really serious about making and distributing a pirated PDF copy of the book.....but it is a shame the book is out of print and not readily available for all to read..

I spoke to Bob Henrit via maila year ago and he had no real problem with 
it as long as it wasn't altered but he kindly referred to the publisher 
since they hold all the publishing rights. So, feel free to contact Wise 
Publications or those who own the rights today.

BTW, my copy also has an original price sticker. $9.95 :)
