Essential Books

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

Can go for cheap... if you're persistant, and not picky about which
edition. I've got a 1st around here somewhere, but nothing more recent.

Well, it's variable. Depends on the market, I suppose.

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.

Not shown is the current pile of books that I plan on selling. One of
those books is one of the afore-mentioned "Handbook..."

I tried a couple of search engines but I could not find a downloadable copy
of the Hydrogen Peroxide Handbook do you have a URL? Thank you is possible.

Please give us sci.spacers a head start over the eBayers.

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."

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.

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.
