As Quanta did a reprint, the two copyright holders are Jan Jone as the author
and Quanta as the publisher.
My memory is not too clear on the second reprint as I was not involved.
I think the Quanta committee paid someone to do a limited number of photocopied
versions.
The quality was abominable.
Therefore I think this can be ignored.

Pages 35 & 36, but there is no copy of the Balance Sheet.
This may be a One Off, but I doubt it, as pages 35 & 36 are back to back.
