Date is 1989, so with a bit of luck it *might* cover our 8 bitters. Anyone know anything about this book b4 I place a bid ?

cheers,

I don't know anything about it except that if you're a patient person, you may save a few dollars ordering it from the US. You can buy and have it shipped for less than AUS $15 if you use AbeBooks (http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&y=0&tn=universal+computer+interface&x=0&sortby), but it could take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months to get to you.

Postage from the USA is usually prohibitively expensive......

I think you missed the "and have it shipped" bit. :)

The price I quoted includes postage. The book is only US $2, and the postage to Australia only $9. AbeBooks regulates the maximum rate sellers can charge to ship, so you never get gouged by people who like to inflate the price. As I said, though, it depends how long you're willing to wait. Surface can take quite a while.

Yep, I've waited up to 3 months for surface mail items to arrive...

The book definitely sounds interesting from the title. And given the "universal" part, I sure hope he's including the Commodore 8 bitters in that. :)
