I have looked for this book since it was mentioned here a few weeks
back.  I have not been able to find it.  It is not listed in any
current Radio Shack catalogs nor do they have it on the shelves.  They
some other books that have the same kind of information but I don't
know how good these others are.

Since I didn't know the catalog number that was used I didn't actually
ask any of the salesfolk if it was available.  Now that I have the
catalog number I'll have to go back and ask.

Does anyone have another source for this book should Radio Shack turn
into a non-source?
