Default Amiga Guru Book

Hello,

I am looking for the book "The Amiga Guru Book" by Ralph Babel. Does anybody have one they are willing to part with? I am hoping to make a digital version of this excellent book, which seems to be so hard to find nowadays. My idea is, if it can be made more readily available then more people can enjoy this great piece of Amiga literature. Obviously, I would make sure the author of the book agrees to this before I release such a thing to the public.

Thanks

Why not ask the author in the first place? He wrote the book in TeX, so unless he suffered from a catastrophic loss of data the book is already available in a portable-ish digital form :-).

Ralph has quite recently stated that he doesn't have time to produce an electronic version. Of course, I don't know if he'd be prepared to let somebody else do it.

Ah, thanks for filling me in on that, I didn't know. Then again, if one intends to create an electronic version, one needs the permission of the author in the first place, so asking for his original files is just adding one extra sentence in the message.
