I'm with you John
On CD/DVD HANZAB becomes a very easily accessed document even for field
use and should also be a very good money spinner for BA.
Vol.1 is already getting to be in very short supply and I doubt a
reprint is likely
While like many I would not be without my print copy, I will be at the
front of the queue for the CD/DVDs

Subject: HANZAB products
I understand that the HANZB project is due to finish this year or early
next
year.
I wonder if it would be possible to begin agitating for OUP to make
available two products from the HANZAB project subsequent to the
completion
of the project.
1. The full HANZAB on CD-ROMs (the reason I gave up buying the physical
volumes was partly because of cost, but also because the volumes were
just
too bulky to store or use easily). I reckon there would be a huge market
for
HAZAB on CD-ROMs, even priced at several hundred dollars. (Or what about
a
subscription web-site (say $50 a year) with the full text on, so much
more
convenient).
2. A physical volume or volumes containing just the plates. Again, I'm
sure
there would be a huge market for this, even if it was priced up to, say,
$200.
What does anyone else think of these ideas?
cheers
