But. Shouldn't you be to the Left, rather than to the Right in this video? Is that your office?

I'm happy to see so many of you cracking open your wallets and purses. Maybe even LWing'll squeeze his coin purse open and buy a copy.

M Lane- It's dead center on the you tube video. Part of the frame was cut off when I posted it. Although, I am to 'my' left.

Anon- J. Press university stripe oxford w/flap. 16/32. RN# 79513 or Fall River Shirt Co. which was Shelburne Shirt Co and is now New England Shirt Co.; 01 July, 2010 13:44
Easy and Elegant Life said...: Headed to order now.

Will you join me in an ardent plea to have the Boyer best of AA republished?; 02 July, 2010 08:10
tintin said...: E&E- I don't know what Boyer ever had to do with Air Defense Artillery but I'll ask him. Hey, we need to finish working on that cocktail.; 02 July, 2010 09:50
Those Tricks said...: ooo tin tin in the flesh.
looks like a fun book!
and btw - you can change the dimensions in your posted vid in the html. In two places you will see dimensions, adjust them both to match.
If I had to guess - your width is 400. So, try 400 wide X 300 high or somethin'. :)

Paul Raymond said...: Only £11.69 on Amazon UK. Absolute bargain. Well done to all those concerned. Spiffin' job.; 07 July, 2010 04:28
Dan said...: Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't get it... First you say you scanned the whole book so we can read it here if we don't want to buy it. Then you say we will have to buy it if we want to read it. Also you say you bought it for like 200 and then you say we can buy it for like 24... Apparently I missed something important but I can't figure it out.; 22 July, 2010 13:31
tintin said...: Dan - You're not stupid. I'm just unintelligible.

This book is an English translation of the Japanese book. You can buy the Japanese book (edt.s 1965, 1974, 2006) but they're few and pricey. And if you can't read Japanese you'll only be able to look at the pics.

Or, for 24.95 (less on Amazon) you can get this translation and understand the text. It comes out Sep 1 but is being presold on Amazon.

If that doesn't clear it up - you're stupid and I have to learn how to talk.; 22 July, 2010 13:41
