Neil,
I just checked and I own this book! I bought my copy of this at a local 
thrift store for 5 or10 cents. So I have the real potential to make an 
unspeakable "thousands%" profit on this???

I have a habit of buying any computer book and most computer software 
and hardware I see at this thrift store. All books are 5-10 cents and 
software is 25 cents to $1.00; hardware is usually a buck or two. I'm 
still kicking myself at not buying 5 AutoCAD books last month. I knew 
that the next day the place was starting a book sale - a grocery bag 
full of books for $1.00. I went at 11 AM the next day and they were 
already gone.

BTW, I bought a Coco 2 system there that was marked "non-working" and 
marked $1.00. I asked at the store and the store "geek" said she hooked 
it to an old monitor and it didn't work. I got it home and it worked 
fine...hooked to my TV. I knew that the old monitor was composite and 
the Coco is RF modulated, so...hehe, my gain!
