A propos John's posting, at a ham rally last year a guy (a professional 
engineer rather than a market trader) was selling beautifully printed 
hardback HP instrument catalogues in almost brand new condition for about 
£10.  I snapped up the 1997 one instantly, and what a treasure chest of good 
stuff it is if you are interested in some of the finest test gear around.

That is what I call a sensible price.
