Just wondering if anyone happens to have a copy of John Donner's "A Professional's Guide to Pyrotechnics". I recently bought a copy from an online place, and it turned out to be a rather dodgy photocopy job (not happy! ). Most of it is readable enough for me, but there is one picture that is simply not readable at all. I was thinking about re-typing the book so I can at least try and reprint it (I know it's not the original, but its better than throwing it out and wasting my money ), but I would like to have a better (i.e. legible) version of the picture. The picture is on page 52, and is a diagram of T.G. Hitt's Flashcracka. So if someone has the book, and doesn't mind scanning it, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you very muchly. That will be a tad easier to reconstruct than what I have now.

If I were you, I'd take some action if what you received was a photocopy, and what you should have received was the actual book.

why don't you say where you bought it just so we know where not to purchase books.

It wasn't from Amazon, it was from what looks like a private book dealer. I did contact the person about it but have recieved no reply. I have also purchased another book from the same place previously, but it was an origional, and in quite good nick for a book as old as it was.

I will wait and see what happens (with regards to him contacting me). If it doesn't get resolved, then I will let you all know.
