[time-nuts] time sync by moonbounce

Abe Books has several copies of the hardcopy.
  https://www.abebooks.com/
$30.  Check the fine print.  At least one says print on demand.

My copy is in near perfect condition.  Page 127/8 is a 3 page fold out diagram.

It's 650 pages, way more than I will ever read, but if somebody sends a note 
with a page number, I'll probably look it up.

It's also the sort of thing that I can easily get sucked into.  Just open to a 
random page and start reading.  For example, page 525 is Orbiting VLBI, 
clearly time-nuts bait.

Print on Demand doesn't have to be crap quality.

A friend wrote a college level physics text.  The story he told was that the 
college book store would put in an order with the publisher.  The publisher 
would send it to the nearest Fed-Ex print shop.   (I forget what they were 
called back then.)  They would print and deliver the next day.

Xerographic printers can be really good.
