Re: PC: thougts on PCHS Newsletter on the web

["james koo" <l740@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List Members,

If you would like to obtain books or photocopies of articles from 

libraries, its very important that you give them as much information

about your book or article as possible.  Ask your library, as far as 

what it requires for ordering a book or photocopies; some libraries

will even require the page numbers of an article, before they would 

try to order a photocopy.  Secondly, my attempts to order "picture 

books", with the exception of Penn Central Power, as well as articles 

from "obscure" magazines, such as PC Modeler, have yet to succeed.  If

you know of, or find, libraries that have PC Modeler, PC Post, and/or

Rails Northeast, please let me know.  Thank you.

                                      Sincerely,

                                      James Koo
