Thanks - it's on its way to a place I found online. £120 all-in.

They have done a marvellous job with that one G, worth the money too to keep memories alive.

Looks like really interesting content too. Could see myself getting lost in something like that.

Yes - great book. I find myself picking it up (or rather pushing it along my desk - it's huge), and just marvelling at the diagrams and pictures.

I'm really glad I had it restored.
