The result of a very limited printing and distribution,
these reprints are quite rare and have been long out of
print. This set was acquired from the publisher years
ago and was one of a few sets that were printed at the
end of the order by using whatever paper the printer had
on hand. As a result the pages are colored – red,
green, yellow, blue, etc. – however the printing is
identical and fully legible. Admittedly an odd way to
do it, but there it is.
These manuals illustrate the progression of development
of equipment during this volatile period and are an
important source of information when used to track the
changes. Brand new and in excellent condition, this
nine volume set is a great opportunity to add this
information to your library.
