The hard back retailed for $16.95 back in 1981. The paper back was $10.95.<br /><br />It seems the fact they are hard to find and some people are willing to pay over a $100 have made it quite pricey to acquire.<br /><br />But, I'll keep my eyes open online and locally (never know what may show up at Half Price Books). I did consider photocopying or scanning to PDF, but at this point, I just enjoyed the read and know that I can check it out at the library, if needed.<br /><br />I still may inquire about purchasing though. They happened to be selling a bunch of books while I was in there the other day and with this book being in storage, I may have some luck.deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-23266617127442604912010-09-08T14:39:34.664-04:002010-09-08T14:39:34.664-04:00Deek, Keep your eyes peeled on Amazon's used ...Deek, Keep your eyes peeled on Amazon's used books. At first I also saw only a $100 copy. But then one day a copy showed up for only $37. In the meantime, just can just renew your library copy. Then again, you could take it to a copy shop and make your own photocopy of the thing!J.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17716960326168886178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-86708872502982908532010-09-08T12:30:38.819-04:002010-09-08T12:30:38.819-04:00Hmmm...I got a bit overzealous last night.

I skipped the two chapters (which were the meat of the book) that showed a complete breakdown of a late model Olympia manual and a late model Brother electric.<br /><br />My thought was that I could go back to either of those chapters as reference, if need be, but there wasn't much value to just read through them, as I am not currently working on anything that I need such a detailed reference.<br /><br />And now I am bummed, because I have finished the book and am reconsidering my desire to own it. Its great reference, but if its at my local library, I can always check it out again if I need it, instead of hording it and letting it gather dust on my bookshelf...deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.com
