[Boatanchors] Bought the Third Edition of "Radiotron Designer's Handbook" today. . .

[Dennis DuVall]

I have the Third Edition also which carries the inscription: "Second Lt. Robert E. Baehr”

Bob was my “Elmer” after the War when he cane home and rejoined his family’s electrical business in Deer Lodge, MT.

Yes, there is 'some' yellowing' of the pages, and the page edges of the book are darkened a bit.  But the covers are quite good and it doesn't appear that any of the pages are dogeared or torn or anything. Overall it's very nice for a 74 year old book (At 72 I should look so good ;-)

I DO have a number of PDF files of various editions of the book (both 3rd edition and 4th edition for sure), but it's nice to have the 'real' thing. Of course I HAD to buy it. . .
