Ed. note: We give up on that one, Mervyn! It has to be the hardest to find metal finishing book there is. We have checked every source we can think of, and have only come up empty to date. Please advise if any reader knows a bookstore that actually has it--as opposed to a source that might have it, because they don't!
A. The book is available by
www.interall.it under books.
It costs 116 plus mail charges.
