The book Model Aircraft Aerodynamics (4th edition) did turn out to be hard to obtain. The one source I can confirm for the book is Amazon.com.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/ 14.51 british pounds including air mail shipping. At today's exchange rate that is $24 USD with delivery expected in 5-7 working days. I found it amusing that they used my Amazon.com (USA) customer number, shipping address and VISA card on file. I first tried Amazon.com (USA). They do not list it. I inquired with their customer service. They sent back a form letter that stated: > I've searched our catalog for that title and determined that we do not > currently list it on our website. Since Amazon.com only deals in > items available through American or Canadian suppliers, there will > always be some titles we cannot supply. Please note that if a title > is not in our catalog, we cannot obtain a copy for you. I have corresponded with Martin Simons about this problem. His publisher (Nexus) claims that it will be available at Barnes and Noble and also from Motor Books International of Osceola. I tried Barnes and Noble's web site. They did not list it as of yesterday. Maybe it is in the pipeline and will appear later. I have not been able to locate a web site or phone number for Motor Books International. I did mention the uk source in a Model Aviation column that I sent in last week. With the lead time, that column (february issue) will appear around the 1st of the year (assuming the world does not end). :-) Mike Garton ***************************************************** Michael Garton Office (515) 294-1429 Center for NDE Fax 294-7771 223 ASC II Home (515) 965-8593 1915 Scholl Road Ames, IA 50010 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***************************************************** RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
