Hey Rip hope all is well. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy of Bill Starr’s classic book The Strongest Shall Survive. Any idea if this will ever be back in the store for the website. Surfing Ebay but no luck thus far. Thanks for everything you guys do. It’s been a total life changer for me.
It's out of print. Keep checking Amazon for a stray copy.
I have also been looking for a copy of this, stray copies pop up every once in a while but go for fairly high amounts $200+. I’m ignorant on the economics of small batch printing but there seems to be some demand if you could do a run mark
There's this little problem, known as copyright law.
Maybe your local library has one you can read until you find your own?
I needed a service manual for a '98 Jeep, thought I could pick one up for around $25 or so on eBay.
Nope, $250 for the two manuals. I believe they sold for around $20 each around 15 years ago when they were still in print.
Anyway, I called the local library, and sure enough they had them. Saved a few bucks til I can find the manuals for a reasonable price.
Someone out there probably owns the copyright and either doesn't know it or thinks it's worthless. I think in 65 years it's fair game to print.
But you don't know anything about it, either the copyright law or who owns the copyright. We do.
Shit I was hoping the copyright would be straightforward enough and an agreement could be made with Bill’s heir(s). Is it safe to say nobody will be printing any more any time soon Mark?
Not unless it's a bootleg deal.
