I have scanned a copy of the article on aluminising telescope mirrors from amateur
telescope making book 3. It is a large 1.2 Mb file. If anyone would like me to email
them the pdf I am willing to do so. Please note copyright does exist on this article and I
am only making this offer for people who do not have access to the original. I know
Willmann-Bell do still publish the full series and it would be better to buy the books. So
far as I understand making a copy of a limited amount of a published work is legal as
long as it is for personal use.
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong and I will retract the offer.
Not that I am a stickler for adhering to every single law (just some of them), but you seemed to want to know:
Generally speaking, copyright law allows you to make a copy of a work which you have purchased, for your own personal use. However, "personal use" does not include distributing copies to others.
