Yowser...  $108 for ACCEPTABLE. USED Backstrip on spine is torn and 
binding is torn. Markings to some pages. This book is in bad shape, 
but is fully readable.

Definitely a library book.  If you happen to be at an educational 
institution with a library, they can legally make a copy under a 
special exemption in the Copyright law. (Note that not just anyone 
can Interlibrary loan it and whip on down to Kinkos.. there's a bunch 
of provisos and restrictions)

Edgerton's book, "Electronic Flash, Strobe" from MIT press is about 
$20, and also has a lot of data on arc characteristics.
