He is from South Africa??

Anyway, is the manual story solved? Maybe I should scan them here in South Africa to avoid IP infringements, or in Nigeria? - lol

My copy was signed 1996 by Pete Breck, Brack or Bruck, can't tell ;-)

Yes,

Sad to say that SA "provided" the current regime leader of "Acedes". After leaving a trail of tax issues and unpaid wages at his holdings in SA he moved on to the UK, and Malta, and the US and........

I have yet to find anyone who has done business with him who has anything nice to say about him. Ask Mr. Price! And some of his former "partners" are currently serving time in New York State for investment fraud, one of the said investment being his former entity "Pride Automotive Group"....I have a nice, thick file of historical misdeeds and questionable business practices. But hey, AC is thriving and building cars like crazy! Oh, wait......

I'd also love to get a copy of the manual, either printed, pdf, etc. I've been looking for a while and haven't been able to locate one. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I can't believe that the whole of the US of A (in fact the world?) cannot offer such manual.
There are a few Heidelberg and Korg presses at idle here. Shall I get a few printed?

I will ship them from my company that the shareholders are liable in case of copyright issues. Can't afford to have AL on my case (who is now connected to "Gullwing" in Germany?).

Even T Branda doesn't seem to have any.

Serious now, I have some time on my hand and can arrange something.
I would nominate Mickmate to handle US sales. I don't have any idea what a minimum order must be to make the project viable.

I would be interested as well. What about setting up a charitable foundation? Keith Craft's "Kamo's Kids Foundation" comes to mind, as do several others. Donate to the foundation, get a free book!???
