A friend offered me copies of the Stirling & Whitley file (circa 1970's) to sell for him today, but i wondered how scarce or otherwise they might be ? Any...
Hey Dave, Both books have been out of print for quite some time. Personally, I'd keep them as they can be rather expensive to buy used from Amazon books or ...
