Thanks for the additional information Terry.
Any idea where I can find a copy of your book? In three volumes?
My usual sources don't seem to have a copy.

How about moving this information to our book thread?

I'll lump this one in with the other posts in which you've posted links in the last 24 hours, and consider this a part of your your first warning.

Using the forums to promote your own site or revenue stream is generally frowned upon in puzzle threads, as well.

Thanks Terry that's just the sort of information I was looking for.

I can't resist this detailed type of reference publication and I will order a copy in the coming weeks.

I agree that this should be moved to the book thread for maximum exposure.
