I FULLY APPRECIATE THAT THIS BOOK IS QUITE OLD – HOWEVER, MUCH OF THE INFORMATION COVERED IS JUST AS RELEVANT TODAY AS THEN & MAYBE EVEN MORE SO WITH MORE PEOPLE HAVING ACCESS TO COMPUTERS – I THINK I’VE PRICED THE BOOK REASONABLY – TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE PRICE OF P&P (WHICH IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE BID PRICE)
