His statement of the maximum power transfer theorem is rather muddled, and that leads to numerous degrees of wrong in a lot of what he derives. Most of his wrong statements are right only in the case of the ever-elusive ideal, lossless line, but the lossier the line, the more wrong the statements become.

Searching for Reflections in eBay and Amazon or is pretty much a lost cause, as there are literally hundreds of books with the word Reflections in the title, and they could not resist listing them, no matter how I searched.  The CQ bookstore indicated the latest edition was Reflections III, a much better search topic.  I found some in Amazon and/or eBay, priced between a hundred (+) and a thousand dollars.  I'll let those speculators keep their books.
