So i got this really clean book for 3$. When It gets here, I open it to first page and there is a note? Normally I can read cursive but it turns into chicken scratch. Can anyone help translate? hahah

Clicky they get bigger!








What i have so far

I believe the primary problem was
that the engineers never developed
an engineering (concept?) consistent with
the original projects goals. They
spent too little money on concept
exploration and too much on (development?)
and commercialization, under
corporate pressure (from?) naive (managers?)

Do you care to tell me where you landed that? The one I have been looking at is a paperback.

Thanks Ryan, I looked over there, found one that is in "like new" condition for 10 bucks. I'm giving it some consideration. Please, call me Scott
