re: Marshall Ruskin's Bentley manual question: Having worked in the graphics industry..... there is a common problem here... what happens is a quality firm like Robert Bentley Inc. has a printing press co....print his publication (on a best quote basis)... the company screws up a few hundred or thousand copies by dropping a signature (sections).... Bentley sends them back to the printer, they replace them with correct ones (the printer eats the cost.. his mistake) and they SHOULD be destroyed......BUT.... some enterprising person at the printer NOT Bentley , doesn't destroy the defective books but sells them out the back door to a jobber who claims they are remainder and they end up on the Auto-Flea-market circuit.... at a really cheap cost.... Folks if the price is to good to be true..... guess what?
