Daniel:
I cross posted this message to the TC forum as well and I've received three
separate responses from people who have purchased TC books from them, and
all were very pleased with the quality of the materials they received from
them. They are photo copy reproductions, but evidently they have found
good originals and done a good job reproducing them. Here's a couple of
the messages:
