[Elfsea] Book for sale on E-bay

[david cade]

I would go as high as $100 for a decent reprint, even in paperback. I
rechecked my bibliography, and its 1635, by John Babington.  Also any other
15-1600's pyrotechnic books, if they are in english or translations.  Wish I
could afford originals, but doubt I could find em anyway.  Thanks for
asking, I appreciate your watching. Who knows, I could get lucky!
