Great idea.... especially since I was planning on bidding (apparantly against you :-).
I'll take you up on the offer, and of course cover whatever my expenses are.

If this suits you, please let me know. | If it's only 15 pages, how about scanning it in and uploading the resulting file? | |

Rep Power: 29 | I'll kick in for a copy as well. Since this is a copy, I just hope it is distinct enough to scan well. Although, I guess most scan packages will enhance the image. I also popped for the paid version of paintshop pro finally, which can do some neat things. So, between all of us, I would say that there are no worries about producing a very usable file.
Regards,
Lynn

Rep Power: 9 | Andy,
Count me in for one as well.
To help keep the cost down, suggest considering production and distribution of copies for North America here in NA. If no one interested in handling this, I wouldn't mind.

Ron,
If it's copyrighted, you probably want to be careful with publicly posting the pages here. If it's like a similar interesting pub I'd like to share (which I provide scans of below under "fair use") i.e. published between 1964 and 1977 with notice (the copyright symbol), it is good for at least 28 years with an automatic extension of 67 years for a second term.
I don't see a copyright notice on the cover but you will want to check inside.
Thank the Disney lobbists for that  .

Rep Power: 6 | Ok Guys, ive noted your interest in copies.
Lets hope it doesnt go to silly money in the auction.
Dutton, best bet is probably if i scan and send you a copy.
Thanks for your kind offer to distribute in USA, to all interested parties. | |

Rep Power: 6 | Im sorry to say i was outbid.
The auction ended at some ungodly hour, my timezone wise.
I set my bid at $ 45.00, thinking that would be enough.
Sorry again guys.
Ill keep searching for another. | |

Lynn / Pedro,
Many thanks for the information.
There were some nuggets in this to keep me on the trail.
