About the book -- I was saying if you want to finish scanning I'll do the OCR and proofreading...

Let me know. Oh and by the way, I was wrong -- the "less good" edition was published in 86, not 84, methinks

Oh okay, well I only have the 1978 edition now, but I agree. 84-86 Engineering and Operations in the Bell System was not the best. I don't think I'm going to scan the whole thing, but I have a table of contents. If you want anything let me know.

Good deal, Thanks!

Oh, by the way if you haven't read "Telephone Switching Systems" by Richard Thompson, then by all means do so. It's a kick-ass book (if not for the light of heart (or pocket))... It's probably the one absolutely indispensible purely telco-tech book I own (runner-up is a copy of the OLD Newton's Telecom Dictionary).

I think I have that one. Is it pink and brown?

[Abhaya]

No, it's actually kind of purple, yellow and green, really thick and heavy. Good doorstop! There's a pic of it on Amazon...
