Hello Harry,
This is as I thought, although Tee Publishing, EIM's parent company, have
re-published older works from time to time, and as I said before, the new
owwners of M.E.have taken to publishing individual construction series from
their archives, so it was worth an ask. As you say, in this instance, Peter
has taken care of me however, fortunately it would seem!
Regards, and wishing you and everyone else on the group a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
Tony.
