interested in a copy? sold in bulk
I guess nobody cares any longer after these years and despite the argue on dwf some years back.
I wonder what Zanoni would do?

I still think it's out of order for someone to reprint and sell a book which they don't own the rights to. Doesn't matter how old it is (and this isn't very old), it's stealing.

Of course it's possible that the seller has bought a pile of these from Zantech, which would be a different matter altogether.

Greg Zanoni sometimes sells some of his dads wonderful NOS epsa-optel dsm watches on ebay. Wonder what he'd make of this.

Zantech still exists.

The book isn't on their site any more. Maybe someone ordered all the remaining examples and is now selling them?
I wouldn't buy the book without knowing if it's legal.

I emailed Mr. Louis Zanoni and also Greg. Louis was surprised that people still read that stuff ;) but he doesn't know this case in question and asked Greg to check this out. The auction is however still present on ebay. It's not difficult to make a copy and also the cover has been edited as the font doesn't match.
You'll be the judge

I contacted Zantech directly - the official answer is YES they still sell it.

I forgot to return to this thread. That's cool that you contacted Louis. I have his email and I almost did the same thing once. Did you tell him about this forum?

By the way, freenet2k got the manuals from www.zantechinc.com

as far as I remember I think both Louis and Greg are aware of this forum.
Louis Zanoni is currently running a TV station and he is no longer related with Zantech.
He was very surprised that people still use that old book because it's very out of date. there are plenty of more useful hints on the web.
