> Hi Guys, I have come to the point where my original as a ham 1969

> My plan is to remove the edge of

> the binder edge with a scanned
> FILE copy in color which I will then print on some heavy paper and glue 
> that on the edge.

> title. Not what I asked for.

> Mine has at the top of the edge binding "FORTY-SIXTH EDITION" with "THE 
> RADIO AMATEUR'S HANDBOOK" below
> that and "1969" in white on black at the bottom. The cover is yellow.
