  16. Something that I haven't seen mentioned in this discussion (or I may have
  17. missed it) is that you don't have to buy all 17 volumes.  Each volume
  18. has its own IBM publication number, so you can order them separately
  19. (or so a Team OS/2 member tells me).
  20.  
  21. Now, would someone who was rich enough to pay the $300 volunteer to
  22. post the title and publication number (and maybe even a brief
  23. description) of each volume in the set?  Chances are, most of us will
  24. only need a handful of volumes to get our job done.
