Anyone know how many were in the series? Yes,..I remember that little booklet Allan.. To be honest, it is a miracle that the wee treatise has survived for 33 years ! Back in the day, the Binding process colloquially known as 'Perfect Bound',..was not as sophisticated as it is today. The glues were poor, and it needed a much thicker collection of pages to produce a long -lasting product. With such a slim Jim type of booklet, the pages were almost certain to fall out,...but there ya go, it was, what it was... Halcyon Days though,...I wish I could have those thirty odd years back,...I might have walked a different path... Edited February 5 by OldPhil 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for walking a different path, if it’s something you’re passionate about there’s only one path you can follow. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
