Cyrus had this to say about the book. We quote him in blue text below:

I have completed scanning the book, and can now make a test print. I paid the specified royalties to the copyright owner, and expect to receive a signed letter giving me permission to make 25 copies. The current number of requests has greatly exceeded that number, so, I will have to request permission to make additional copies (probably, no problem).
