Funny enough, just last night at '4 & 20'  I mentioned how I USED  to have
several P & L devices !

Great stuff, fantastic collectibles... lost due to unappreciative past  
girlfriend who threw them, along with plenty of OTHER magic props and books away  !
 *sigh*

Never seen this book, though.  I too would be interested in viewing  it.

I obtained my P & L 'stuff' as used and generally unwanted/under  appreciated
from both Joe Berg (where Ring 21 met for 'ages') and Les Smith  (Magic
Supreme) --- again, ironically, mentioned both of THEM too, last night  !  (in the
context of how they were my 'sponsors' when I joined the Castle  in 68).

Good luck, let me know if you succeed !
