Aye, I'd buy that book, too!
But it is amazing how much original material is lost or intenionally
destroyed.
I see it im my own work. Despite misgivings, good stuff is dumped to
save overhead (sq ft) and then 1 year, 5 hears or even later, we would
do anything to get it back.
But too late.
That's business for ya. Why plan ahead when you can save on the cost of
a filing cabinet today?
And you can't save it all yourself. Only got the one apartment to cram
full of stuff!
