May I clarify here that this is not my entry to the publishing
business!!!!!!!!  

I have written 4 self-published books, 3 of which are for sale RIGHT 
NOW.  And I do not consider what I did "publishing".  These are 
instructions on how to use the Realist camera.  

And, yes, I cannot afford to hire a lawyer so I can put even more 
money to that blood-sucking HOBBY!!!

Oh, yes, sure!  I can just see the "Stereo Realist Manual" (1954)
book being reprinted really soon and thousands of Realist Stereo
camera users being held from lining up outside bookstore to buy 
their copies because of me!!!  Let's be Realist-ic here!

>Except Dr. T has provided cheap copies 

Let me repeat here that I did not copy the book!!!!!!!!!!
I copied the instructions to use the Realist.  That's only a 
small part of this great book. To this information I added my
very own perspective on how to use the Realist with all the
modern changes in films, etc.

OK, fine.  Even if only one person thinks that I am doing something
illegal by trying to pass this information to stereo photographers
then I _won't_ do it.  That's the end. 

Good luck finding a copy of this wonderful book which is highly 
recommended, not only to Realist owners, but to stereo photographers 
at large.  I will continue to provide my own instructions with
the Realist cameras that I supply from time to time.
