Yup, me too. I just wish that Jimmy Silva had even been on my radar at that time.
The ESD stuff was going for something not far from cost at that time, and I bought everything that I thought I'd have any interest in. Sigh.
I couldn't help but wonder, leafing through the book, about what effect the book was going to have on the eBay market for the titles like Mr. Sliva's that are far OOP. If some sort of informal distribution (like mp3 blog?) system is unfair to anyone concerned, it could maybe be a great place for somebody to start reissuing some of the titles?

Quite a few "Nordic" and new age titles there, too.
b.s. who's bought maybe six copies of SET TO POP over the years
