"Building a Pattern Airplane" book

[Bill Glaze]

While I would buy a copy of Thompson/Atwoods  book in any format, we may 
now have a new, complementary  source for this valuable information;  
I'm speaking, of course, of the new consortium, known as the 
Brammer/Brox Brain Trust.
Sure would be a blockbuster combination.  Maybe we could shame them<BG> 
into compiling their ideas and transforming them into print.  Any 
seconds out there?
