<VV> Possible solution for "The Corvair Decade" book

[Russ Moorhouse]

I only offered this as a possible solution, since the gist of this on going 
thread was that the book was unavailable and that it wasn't going to be 
printed again.  Having never seen one I didn't know it had two copyrights. 
I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes.

I agree, it nice to be able to hold the book in hand and  be able to show it 
to others.  But if it's never going to be reprinted due to a limited number 
of customers, then those of us who would like a copy are left with nothing. 
In which case a PDF CD book in color with the ability to search text would 
be an alternative solution to not having anything.
