Hmmm... we really need a FAQ, and the how-to for obtaining the Fites book is
a prime candidate for inclusion in such.

I mailed him a while back re. the book, and here is what he had to say:

<quote>

Not quite, I only distribute a PostScript file. And unfortunately, I have
no provisions for electronic payment (or plastic; I'm not actually a
retailer.) It may be possible for you to transfer money electronically to
one of my bank accounts, but unless you have an account at a Canadian bank
it's quite likely more trouble and cost than simply mailing a check. A
check or money order is fine.

<snip>

Here's the "standard blurb":
____________________________________________________
The book is out of print, but I have been sending people a PostScript file
that will let them print the book themselves. You need to be able to
receive a 3-MB or so e-mail attachment, and to have access to a printer that
understands PostScript. You unzip the file to a large PostScript file
(about 23MB) and a little one, then send the files to the printer. (The
little one prints a single correction page.)

Some people have had success using GSView or other PostScript viewers and
printing to whatever printer is attached to their system. I don't recommend
for or against this as I have no knowledge of what printer may be involved
and the resulting quality of output.

If this is OK with you, send me US$15 per copy you want to print, and I'll
e-mail the file. Snail mail:
        Phil Fites
        200 Baseline Road
        Ottawa, Ontario
        Canada, K2C 0A2

Telephone: 613.727.9536

Whatever you decide, thanks for your interest!

hm. was impossible to find anything about Philip Fites, but looks like
Martin P.J. Kratz works now for a legal buffet called Bennett Jones LLP.

more info available at http://www.lexpert.ca/firms/bennett.html - and btw,
if someone talks to Mr. Kratz and finds out how can anyone interested get a
copy of his and Fites book, please let me know (better yet, post the how-to
to this list).
