Ok, I'll see if our local Borders, only 28 miles up the interstate, 
has it.

Understand that my copy of the ITT book is a #5, pretty jurrasic these 
days.  Gawd I wish we were back in the 60's thru the late 80's when 
the Mcgraw-Hill magazine "Electronics" was *the one* you'd cheerfully 
kill to get a subscription to.  The meat in the articles that 
magazine published was downright fattening.  Then they had a change 
in management fired all their good writers and went straight into the 
toilet, all in about 2 years.  Sad, and I'm not sure if the 
electronics business was able to maintain its innovation speed 
without it.  I think the internet had to become universal before 
things got back to normal.
