In this case, the original book was broken or wrecked at some point, so the remaining articles were removed and stapled into individual paper covers. The government reports contained many scientific articles, some original and some reprinted from other obscure sources. These articles are often overlooked by those who might find them of interest, because they rarely turn up in online title searches; and when it is located, the whole book and all the unrelated articles would have to be purchased as one.)     We have many other auction items (including many more of these excellent extracted reports) and a well-stocked eBay store - please Click Here to View Other Auctions.     PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Winning bidders will be automatically notified at the end of the auction. I make an effort to communicate well with everyone; I usually ship twice a week these days, and every item is guaranteed to be carefully and safely packed.     Shipping & handling for this item is $3.00 to anywhere in the U.S., though buyers in Alaska and Hawaii may want to request a faster option; insurance, delivery confirmation and other shipping extras must be requested by the winner.
