[net.books] A series of books on design?

marks@milano.UUCP (02/07/86)

I have one book from a series, and I would very much
like to acquire the whole series. The publisher here was unable
to help me (i.e., had never heard of it), and I got no response
from England to a letter I sent. If anyone knows of a source,
please let me know.

Here are the particulars:

The series doesn't seem to have a name; it contains
(as far as I know) 37 thin paperbacks, of which I own
only the last-to-be-mentioned, (though I have seen several others)
