Note:  The 1st edition of this was excellent.  A very useful book for
anyone interested in CRT display technologies.  If this new edition is
similar, it is to be recommended.  Van Nostrand Reinhold offers a 15-
day examination policy.
There is a possibility that Conrac Corporation will have some of these
for distribution to bonafide customers.  If you have some Conrac monitors,
you might try calling the local distributor or representative.
