SAA keeps it in their catalog of books for sale but never has it in stock. After trying to order it from several sources (including Amazon, B&N, etc.) with an 8+ week timeline, I finally found it through abebooks.com. The going rate is between $77-$130. The current rate for a used copy on Amazon is $291! Good luck in your search.

It is an excellent resource and all of your questions are covered in it.

I seem to have several types and some are less than blue, while others are brown and gray. I'm not sure if various types should be co-mingled and what non-acidic paper(s) should be used for separating items. The oldest is a 1936 WPA blueprint of our old broadcast tower and would be great to display if done properly. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Feel free to contact me off the list.
