I asked about having them included in the kit of parts but there are three issues with this.

1) Who will pay for them?

2) Who will cover the extra cost to ship them in the kit?

3) By the time you open the kit, most will not have time to use the great information contained with in them.

Let's think of a good way to get them to all teams. I'd hate for others to lose the great advantages provided by these books. I'd like teams to understand they can save enormous amount of time and effort by investing only about $26 or so in both of these. Truly, they are a wonderful publication that should be in our libraries along with our McMaster Carr and Grainger catalogs.

That is a very good Idea.
after the madness that is the championship I'll try to get a concentrated book order from all the Israeli teams.

Hopefully we will be able to purchase the 2008 book as well!
