True enough. I have them all. Coffer even has a DVD out now. That being

http://www.collodion.com. In the mean time, Towler's Silver Sunbeam, the
classic treatise from 1864 is available online courtesy Stanford
University here:

Scully/Oserman are at http://www.collodion.org
John Coffer is here: http://www.johncoffer.com/ But don't try to send him
email. He lives off the grid and snail mail is the only mail he gets.
