Wow, thanks James.

That's going to cost someone some heavy money. Like the guy that wrote it I guess.

Jim,

You and I have had our differences. This is clear and evident on this board.

But, I gotta give kudos where they are, very well, deserved. You seem to be a MONSTER (in a good way) for surfing the web and finding really great info.

I (for now ) bow at the feet of a MASTER inspector.

Thanks, guy. Good find!

Publishing ID and dates match up on our books, so looks like this is across Canada too.

Great books Joe.

I had my first set of Five back in 1967, wish I could find them.

FYI - excerpt from an email notice I received today; "We have been informed of three diagrams in the book were found to be in error: page 183, bottom left; page 185, bottom left; and page 189 top left".
Clients from now until the new versions are rolled out in Mid Feb.will be mailed the new copy.
