Let me think... when is Hell due for a frost?
http://www.davsoft.com.au/finally.jpg - to late ;-) Some of the stuff I have took me years of patient work to get. Some took vast sums of money. Some took luck. Most just took a credit card. I can imagine. I'm still waiting to get some spare cash to buy Rocket Propulsion Elements. A couple of the books... "Handbook of Astronautical Engineering," and "Ballistics of the Future" (that one's not shown in the photos) are one-grand-plus books. Others, like the Hydrogen Peroxide Handbook, were downloaded off the net for free. Go figure. $1000 US? Wow. As for free, well printing might cost a bit, particularly on an inkjet.... :-). Thanks, David |

I've got a 1st around here somewhere, but nothing more recent. A couple of the books...

It's sad that such good books must go for such high prices, and that copying them breaks the law... Well, in three-quarters of a century, the copyright on them will probably be expired, and you'll be able to download 'em off the net. -- Scott Lowther, Engineer Remove the obvious (capitalized) anti-spam gibberish from the reply-to e-mail address |

I do indeed: http://stinet.dtic.mil/str/index.html Type "hydrogen peroxide handbook" in the 'search for' field. I just did; the report is still available, and at a mere 21 megabytes. In other words... dialup sucks. Make sure the "full text collection" box is the only one checked; you can also check the "technical reports collection," but that's more for research... it gives you abstracts, but the not reports. Ya gotta pay for those. The full text collection gets you PDF files you can download. Be warned: you'll lose hours here looking up stuff. Thank you is possible. Actually, I was kinda hoping "vast sums of money as payment is possible." -- Scott Lowther, Engineer Remove the obvious (capitalized) anti-spam gibberish from the reply-to e-mail address |

I would like to thank you very much, however I am using dial-up and you have just jammed up my modem for the next couple of days. I don't know what else is here but already I am downloading five diffirent files. Earl Colby Pottinger -- I make public email sent to me!

Without high speed, many of these files are just plain inaccessible. My own dialup just chokes up and dies long before many files can be downloaded. -- Scott Lowther, Engineer Remove the obvious (capitalized) anti-spam gibberish from the reply-to e-mail address |
