I am sure you are aware of my feelings toward King Levy!!! :>
Perhaps he wanted his new definitive "Observing Comets, Asteroids, Mateors
and the Zodiacal Light" book as the handbook. But I guess that wouldn't
work, if you took Edberg's contributions out, that would leave what, just
his name on the cover? Your "elementary handbook" created at "breakneck
speed" is better than anything he ever dreamed of. "ENOUGH SAID!"
