Managing & Mastering the Set Triggered Rifle

The rare classic, by Frank de Haas.
Fading of the covers, clean pages with no off odor. The center two pages have worked themselves off the staples-although they are not torn. All pages are present.
$140, shipped, to the first "I'll take it".

A smart/prudent thing to do would be to sell good copies for a reasonable price, rapidly return your money + and donate the original to the ASSRA library. And you will deservedly receive a lotta"atta boys" Just a thought.

If those are the middle pages, there must be like 60 pages in total. Even scanning two pages at a time that would be 30 pages plus 1 for the covers or 15 2-sided pages in a PDF. Nice idea, but a lot of work unless you are set up for that sort of thing.

Scanning the book actually wouldn't be a big deal. By removing the binding staples, each sheet could be scanned to include the whole image. There's your book signatures all set up for a printer to run and bind. Shouldn't take more than an afternoon's work if you have a scanner big enough to scan the whole sheets.
What size is the book?

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

The book(let) is the size of typing paper folded in half-56 pages plus inside and outside of both covers. It has a copyright of 1986. Would it still be under copyright protection?

copyright.gov says life of the author plus 70 years. I won't make copies to sell.

I would consider buying the book to take the plunge into reproducing it for the good of all with hope of re-couping the initial investment. One question though, what's the copyright situation?

Heck, I'd buy it outright because it's a fascinating subject and frankly I didn't know it existed. My finances run hot-and-cold though and right now they're a bit cold.

That answers my question.
