Materials Available from Patri Jones Pugliese

These materials are xerographical reproductions of original publications offered to the researcher for cost. Each manual has index stock covers and those with fewer than 100 pages are stapled, while longer manuals are issued as loose sheets. These latter manuals may be drilled for three hole, GBC (plastic spine) or other binding system at your local print shop. Manuals marked with an asterix (*) have been reproduced from microfilms, which for rarer manuals is the only form available. The expense involved in commissioning microfilms and in having these films printed out is considerable; the relative high price involved reflects an attempt to distribute this cost among the few enthusieasts interested in these rare manuals.
