Hi Michael,

Oh, it was as I suspected.
I purchased this great book soon after publication,
but not autographed. I want their autographed copy, if any.

best regards,

Katsu

Thank you Linton, Thank You Michael.
And yes, Michael, you are right, that PDF version is illegal and has
now been reported to Springer.

Yes, neither author lived long enough to enjoy the result of their
work. In fact, Larry Chitwood died the very day the book was finished;
he had spent most of the day working with Richard and Dorothy Norton,
then decided to take a walk before dinner, and he was later found on a
hiking trail, apparently victim of a massive heart attack. Richard was
seriously affected by that death and did not last very long after that.

Thank you for supporting that excellent book, and yes the 2 widows do
get a (small) royalty check.
Right now that book is very hard to find but it is (or will shortly) be
re-printed, and Dorothy and I still hope very much to have available
during the Tucson show.

Any questions, just ask!

Really!
It's a great book, which should be on every collector's shelf.
Sadly, neither author lived long enough to promote it's sale.
The least we can do is buy a copy in their honor.
Linton
