Hi Matt,

I see your point.

OK, maybe PDFs wouldn't be the way to go, but perhaps an online 
subscription with access to the information.  Technology is readily 
available to protect it, for the most part.

Maybe I 'll email them, as Dennis suggested.

It seems a pity that there is a small demand, albeit probably too small 
for another print run, for some of these titles, and apparently no way 
to fill it with Albatros Publications making the money they deserve.

I'd rather buy something from them, than pay over the odds to someone on 
ebay, or troll the nether regions of the Internet for illicit copies.

It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance 
and a ray of sunshine.
