E Zurcher

Hello Eric
Given the ridiculous prices they go for, this is the
cheapest I have seen ...

Hope this helps.

What did Arthur Bishop invent? Excuse my ignorance

Hello LRT

I was hoping someone would be that curious ...

I will update that story shortly as a mower has been found.

Thanks Jack, very interesting. 300 patents is a pretty big feat!

Criminy, I see what you mean by ridiculous prices [need to copy & paste this URL];

Hello Gadge, Eric and LRT
I was so tempted to buy this one.
I emailed Eric who, I understand, has ordered it.
He said he would let us know when he gets the book.

This is the soft cover version - but it should be identical to the hard cover.
Gadge's link to the Bookfinder website shows how silly the market is - with
hardcovers on offer from about $100 to almost $4,000 dollars?

I guess unbridled capitalism is at work.
As always ... caveat emptor.

p.s. Gadge is the only person who has used 'criminy' on ODK ...
A very appropriate, but ironical word. Brilliant ...

late 17th century (as crimine ): origin uncertain; perhaps an alteration of Christ,
perhaps from Italian crimine �crime�.

Yes very tempting! Especially after all the information you provided!!
