Where can One find the 'Lego Technic Idea Book'?

Thanks in advance,
                   Ken


Well, all of the Technic idea books are out of print and unavailable
from shop-at-home.  There are 4 different ones:

8891 - (1991) I see occasionally in auctions on rec.toys.lego
8890 - (1998) also seen occasionally on rtl auctions
8889 - (1984) rarest and most-sought-after AFAIK, was apparently
published only in Europe.  I've seen it in one auction
   only and it went for over $100.  (!)
8888 - (1980)  Oddly enough, I see this one on auctions more
  than any of the others.  And it is very cool.

These last two are actually called "Expert Builder Idea Books."  Joe
Lauher has a good reference:  http://www.chem.sunysb.edu/msl/LEGO/idea.html

as evah,

John C.
