Jack, I dont know if you have any "Half Price Books" stores where you
are. I have found a 1955 and a 1965 ARRL handbooks for $3.00 each.
Might take a bit of looking to find. Also, I see some on Ebay for sale
sometimes. Good Luck. Randy, WB5KCM

And of course, the subject header didn't say it all, since there are various
reasons someone might be looking for a given year's handbook, but not all
of those reasons actually require the specific year.

Lots of times, people have wanted a specific year, and then it turns out
they wanted a certain project from it, and the project was actually in
multiple years of the handbook, or of course had originally been in QST
(maybe even in a fuller form), and that issue of QST may still be available
in paper form from the ARRL (and if not, they may still supply a photocopy
of a specific article for a fee).

The handbooks change like glaciers, so unless someone is trying to get
a complete set or wants the very same edition as they originally bought,
any specific edition is often bracketted by a few years.
