The one at bedford-ca.com is great but it has quite a few sections where the pages are missing / reordered. For example have a look at p227 onwards, it goes E-5, S-2, S-3, S-8, R-14, R-12, R-13 and S-6.

So I figured I’d buy a copy, I got outbid in the last few seconds of a set I was watching on ebay so I bought the ebay CD version, now £3. With the intention of getting it printed. I just want to post a warning to stop others from purchasing the same thing. I emailed the seller beforehand to ensure they hadn’t just nabbed the bedford-ca.com copy and they assured me it was a different version. Unfortunately their copy is such a poor scan it was partially illegible and mainly difficult to read. After complaining I was told I would be sent another copy, I checked it was another scan as it was clearly the scan that was at fault not merely the disk and was told it was.

Guess what they sent me? Yep, the version from bedford-ca.com. Colin, is that yours? It seems really wrong to take someone else’s work and try to make a profit from it. (Yes, I do realise I’m turning a blind eye to the initial bending of copyright)

Anyway, I just thought I’d warn others not to purchase.
